Yaris 1.33 oem intake question

[Yugguy]

Hello everyone. We have recently got a 2009 yaris 1.33 tr which we like a lot.

Ive noticed that the standard airbox is open to the engine bay so must suck in lots of hot air.
Is this normal or am I missing a pipe? Would it be good to run a pipe to the front grille?

Cheers for any advice.

Guy

if this helps: (don't look at the green circle, and i would assume you are looking on the driver side (your side, RHD) of the engine for that tube)

Yes thats it mate cheers. Open to the engine bay which seems wrong? I mean yes my 1978 morris marina had that but not a 2009 yaris?
