u guys notice that the cheap azz short ram intakes on ebay for our cars are missing a place for the small vacuum hose???

I mean, does that vacuum hose do anything or is it just that these manufactures cant count to 3??

i used to have one and i made a make-shift hole in the intake for the vacuum tube, but the check engine light kept comming on.

why not just put a T fitting of that 1 nipple so you can plug the other hose in?

Sorry to hurt you..But ebay intakes are too short and not angled correctly for airflow. It will cause the checklight to come back on since the pipe is too wide in Dia which cause the computer to run lean. Also the angle way of the ebay intake is bad enough that if you run your car in High rpm too much, you will ruin your internal becuase of incorrect airflow into the chamber.. trust me bro, Ive done my Homework..

If you dont trust me, run your car in the high rpm, you can feel as if the engines running redline and wants to shift but hasnt reach near redline yet. Do that allot and your come to see what I just said, BOOM...

You do not want your engine doing Fat Joe impersonations....Just take your snorkle off or go with the CAi as a opposed to the short ram..
