I’m not sure, but your comment seems to imply an assumption that the foam was designed to be external to the air path and is getting unintentionally sucked in? That’s not the case, the foam is literally only inside an “air chamber” that the air directly travels through.

Even cars from 30 years ago have better critical airflow separation than that… how badly did they fuck up the engineering to make it possible for housing components to get sucked into the intake?
Oh, it probably would have cost an additional $0.45 per unit to inject the housing in a different way that provides a hard barrier between the mechanicals and air intake…

Maybe more like $0.05. But yeah…

Well the extra half a cent of profit is worth the realized potential carnage. Oh well I guess, no one will go to jail anyway
