What path does air take to enter a TSX engine
#1
![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hey all
I've bought a 2006 TSX that had been in a front end accident.
I have an OEM air box already but not sure where the air goes before it enters the air box. There were a bunch of crushed plastic tubes.
Here's a diagram of the air box -![](http://cdn.revolutionparts.com/index.php?m=Acura&v=20134&i=SEA4B0100A.gif&t=1366069397&r=ab1759fff955637ad34ce1da6329b838ef89b55a&f=1.7&tn=n)
What comes before the tube where the #7 is?
Could someone take a few pix for me? I'd really appreciate it.

I don't know if the 06 setup is exactly the same as 04, but if it is you draw air from behind your radiator. It then takes a 90 turn going through a wall separating a space from the rest of your car in front of the driver's side wheel well. After that it will go into a noise suppressor (forgot the technical name) which then leads up to #7. Do yourself a favor and get an icebox. Shortens your intake, gives you cooler air (relative), and you get a bigger volume air box

I still have the OEM air set-up with K/N drop in filter. If you disconnected the air intake tube from #7 on the bottom of the OEM box; would that make a "poor man" ice box?

OP here are some pix from an Injen manual that shows how to install(uninstall) the oem kit.

It is for their cold intake but it works for what you want too.
