where is the flapper???

[tprjimmi]

I have looked through the air filter box in a vain effort to locate the flapper door. Where is this thing!!!!!!!!! 2011 3.8 sedan Nothing looks like the item in the flapper sticky. TIA

On the 5.0 it's at the bottom of the box below the filter.

That's what I gathered from the posters' car info. I went through the entire airbox and found nothing. Am I stuck with this stupid (and dangerous) hesitation? Why the difference in v-6 and v-8's?

Maybe post a picture?

Your profile says you have a v6. It's on the tube where the air comes into the box. Just follow the air flow.

I have a website (Jim Ellis Hyundai)that shows all parts diagrams and can't see anything resembling a flapper in the intake system! The only tube leading in is the one from the radiator top down into the airbox. ?????

The auxiliary air intake (aka flapper) looks like the picture in first post, and is located in the air box just bellow the air filter (on both V8s, the V6 might be different);

[EDIT] correction the V6 appears to be the same setup http://www.jimellishyundaiparts.com...=14684&modelYear=2011&searchString=Air intake (Air valve)

NOPE. Mine is like the other illustration with no attachment at the front. I had a problem with purchasing Hyundai mud flaps; turns out mine is an early 2011 build and they changed the rocker panel shape sometime after my unit was built. Did 2009 and 2010 have the flapper?
On another note; in re my NO HEAT posting: same leakage as before-back to the dealership.
