    I found my small air leak in the car...LOL

    Looks like its the cowl on the passenger side.  Should this be closed off?    The light is coming through the hole so I believe thats where the air is coming through.  Do they sell a kit to close it off?

    Does your car have the heater installed? That looks like the air intake for the heater. If the heater is not installed, you will get a lot of air thru that opening when the car is moving.

    Good, fast or cheap. Pick any two...

    That was the best pic out of the 6 I took MS...LOL.  Its on the passanger side and straight up from the feet.  No heater ZakDaddy99.   So that is the Heater intake?  Im going to install a heater at some point.  Any Ideas to close it off until I install a heater?

    Thanks

    If you are getting exhaust fumes through there, that still says you have an exhaust leak on the engine or headers somewhere.

    I tightened up the header bolts and collectors.  We'll see what happens next time I drive.

    Might use some Duct Tape until I decide to install air to seal up the hole.

    Thanks
