I'm not the master of intakes and such, in fact it took me three tries to understand what you said but here's my 2 cents.<BR> 1) Why would you hook up a vac line to your intake? Treat me like an idiot if I'm wrong about this. 2) To put in a tube that (I have to assume) will be your cold air induction, you have to take the airbox out. I just recently read that David did his own "Home Depot" intake. Check it out in the new FAQ Forum.

you can just leave the one vacuumme hose hanging there really... it is attached to the stock air box, but you can unplug it and just leave it there... just make sure you keep the MAF attatched (the plug-looking thing) or else your check engine light will come on, your car will rev all crazy like and pooper out.

I believe the vacuum hose is connected to your EGR solenoids. If you expect these to still be functioning many miles from now, then I would give them filtered air.

Hang on... don't forget that you need to keep the VAF (Vane airflow sensor). Without that your car wont run well. In case you don't know it is the piece right b4 the airbox. Check out my custom intake<P><BR><A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/mattster03/index.html" TARGET=_blank>Custom Intake</A>
