A true ricew burner unbeliveable

So this is what I found while dropping in my K&N air filter today this is the craziest **** I have ever seen in a car. It looks like someone really wanted to burn some rice noodles to make sure the car was a true rice burner car wtf. I know these car can suck up some strange things into there intake box but this is a whole box worth of noodles it seems deliberate. I'm going to assume the last dealership this car went to was mad at the lady I bought it from and tried to sabotage the car. What should I do about this I have the service record for this car and the last time the filter was checked before I bought it at 52k. I Vacuumed out the box installed new filter which works great by the way but should I worry about what this could have done to the car and should I go after the service shop?

whoa, that's a 1st.
I wouldn't be too worried, there's screens that prevent anythign major from getting through the MAF tube.

besides, you'd never prove that the service shop deliberately did that.

Wow, that is definitely deliberate but Jedi is right, no way you can prove who did it. That is a really stupid childish thing to do though.

the screens in the intake tube would prevent anything large from getting to the engine like jedi said. no worries.

this is hilarious though.

as long as your filter is still in good "shape" with no holes, there is no way your engine will be able to enjoy those rice crispy.

just clean them. and ... move on.
