You still have to plug it to your intake if we are referring to the same thing.

There's really only one hose, so i'm going to assume we're talking about the same one.<p>According to other people on this board, your car will run with or without this line attached. Some people, however, have experienced lower or rougher idle when the vaccuum line is disconnected. I have a PRM intake, which has a nipple to connect the vaccuum hose, so i left mine connected. As far as what exactly the hose does, i have no idea. I just kept telling myself that it made sure that air was going into the engine and not leaving it.<p>What kind of filter did you install? If it doesn't have a tit for the hose, you might be able to make one. Then again, your car seems to run fine.<p>:::::::::::::<p>Deuces,
