Guys,

I installed the Gen 3 intake a week or so ago, and noticed great a bit of an improvement in throttle responds. However, just few days ago I've begun to notice a strong rubber smell from the engine everytime the car was driven. I think it might be relating to the radiator been blocked by the intake and the water shield deflected most of the air away from the radiator.

Any one have similar issue?

 

There's still plenty of room for cool air to reach the radiator.

Also, there's no way you would get a rubber smell from the radiator.

 

+1 there is no problems with the filters sitting in front of the radiator..its something else thats going on
