K&N Intake burning hood liner? i installed the intake about 1k miles ago and its been working well untill about a week ago when i noticed a small burning smell when i got out of the car. when i opened the hood i noticed a small hole where the rubber lining covering the metal heat separating plate bends and presses harder against the hood liner. i was thinking i could just cut out that part of the rubber but i was wondering if anyone else had this problem

I had to super glue ($0.99 mini tube from Checkers) the rubber trim back on the divider thing, in my GXP. It keeps the rubber in place and hasn't failed me yet.
I would also take a multimeter and check for a short, like corny suggested. Although my rubber came loose, I never had any burn marks or burning smells.
