Default FTRA?

I lost the rubber piece that seals the front of the air box, where can I get a replacement? I left a message with Fasttoys, can I get it at Home Depot or some other place?

Yeah its just weather stripping. i'd got to HD and see if you can find it there cheap. as long as it seals the opening up it should work

What's the advantage of sealing up the front? I have a FTRA and I took the weather stripping out because I thought it would let less air in.

the point of having it sealed is that you get the air pressurized cuase you are "ramming" it up there by catching the air as you drive. If you don't have it sealed that air flowing in cold and fast is escaping out the of the unsealed part. You'll get some of it but you're letting some escape too

It rams the air in there when its sealed off, the air has no where else to go. Your basically losing the effect of it if you dont have the front seal...

I bought a used FTRA and didn't get the seal with it. I e mailed Fasttoys last week about the exact same thing. This is the reply they sent me.


The seal is 7.00 but UPS charges us 8.00 to ship them so the total would be
15.00. You can order online with part # MISC description "rubber replacment
FTRA seal"

Thanks
