Default Rubbing under the hood.

I have a 70mm throttle body and a cold air intake.

The cold air intake is pushing up against the sidewall of the car and making noise. I know it wont hurt that much, but after a while it gets annoying.

Is there anything that i can wrap around the cold air intake that wont burn up under the heat?

Some type of rubber i can get or cloth of some sort?

Exhaust header wrap may work

Try turning the tube away from the hood.

its not the hood.

its rubbing against the side where the struts and shocks are.

there is no way of turning the tube because it goes into the fender well.

How about move the tube at an angle at the throttle. You can also use a large diameter rubber hose slice it in half so you can open it and place it like a bicycle patch where its rubbing.
