Rustys air tube

Does the Rustys air tube make a whistling sound at part throttle.

take it off, reinstall your factory air box and see if it still makes the noise... :dunno:

The factory box is no good its all streached out and the filter will not seal. When searching the junk yard for a replacement I found a cherokee with a rustys tube and picked it up for $6.00 and thought I would give it a try but I'm not real happy with the sound. The engine is new and I don't want the air filter to leak and allow dirt to suck in. I picked up a later model box in good shape but the tube is in a different location and won't hook up.

you'll probably want to make a heat/debri shield for that crummy intake setup. had one on my xj and shortly after took it off.
