1 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2013

I was driving over to my parents house and my dad noticed a smell of plastic burning when I arrived. He lifted the hood and the air inlet duct was not properly positioned and had moved over and was laying on the manifold. He noticed 1 of the 2 screws used to hold the duct in position was missing. He pulled the duct part off and noticed a hole in the underside where it had laid on the manifold and heated up melting the plastic housing. He covered up the hole with duct tape and relocated it to the proper position. He repositioned it and secured the part with zip-ties.
