Hehe... it causes a bunch of hesitations when accelerating hard. I broke mine and was in need of one for a while. So glad to get it back in... As for importance, I do not think it is that important except for the fact that your acceleration is stunted.

Go to Advance Auto. It is called a Restricer. They sell them where all the Vacume Tees are.

It looks like a little white pill, small enough to fit into a vacuum hose.

What exactly does it do?

I don't have this tube and will be using Silicon hose.
I shoudl just put one of these pills inline?
