" funky tubing hanging off the stock intake tube"

[ROB'S-HOE]

SO I HAD STARTED A A THREAD ABOUT MY NEW VOLANT CAI AND THE RUMBLE SOUND IT GIVES ME. I DID STATE THAT THE SOUND WAS MINIMIZED BY TIGHTENING THE CLAMPS AND BOLTS. HOWEVER, I WAS LOOKING AROUND THIS FORUM AND CAME ACCROSS A THREAD WHERE IT STATES THAT THE EXTRA TUBING HANGING FROM THE OEM INTAKE TUBE IS THERE FOR A REASON AND IT MAKES A DIFF. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? I'VE BEEN THINKING IF I KEEP MY STOCK TUBE AND CONNECT IT TO THE VOLANT CAI HOUSING AND FILTER, HOW WILL THAT WORK, HAS ANY OF YOU GUYS TRIED THIS?

P.S. THE FIRST RESPONSE ON THIS PAGE IS BY BRAD, WHERE IT STATES THAT THE FUNKY EXTRA TUBING FROM THE OEM INTAKE MAKES A DIFF.

Thant funky Tube is the fresh air source for your PCV system, and yess it Must be hooked up correctly as it is After the mass airflow sensor.
Or your tune will be off, as well as your engine will be pulling in un-metered air and DIRT directly into the crankcase.

ezdaar: so what about those after market cai? they don't come with all that extra tubing...

 

[ezdaar]

you reuse the stock tube and connect it from your volant to the hard metal line near intake.

ezdaar: so i want ahead and put the stock tube back on and i hated it. the sound from the volant tube sounds much better, so it's going back on tomorrow!!!!
