Sorry to hear about your dad

Boy, I am glad I am not the only one that smells this. I never had this problem with my Ford Ranger and I think that is because the air box was on the front passenger side. This intake is practically in the exhaust pipe of the vehicle in front of you. The only possibly solution I can think of is to move the intake.

When I first changed my air filter I wounder what the other filter was. Active charcoal. Isn't that suppose to reduce odors?? Well I will be the first to say the only thing it does is rude FE as it restricts air flow.
