Hi,

When you say air housing, are you referring to the air box or air inlet tube? If so, the only way that can happen is if there is a restriction.

Let me know if that is what you are referring to. If that is, remove the air box and the inlet tube and inspect it for damage or anything that may be causing airflow to be restricted.

Let me know what you find.
