What to do with the Smog Pump? (CAI)
I'm installing a custom CAI for my car. What do I do if I want to retain the smog pump? (Which I do, so please, no "just throw it out" suggestions.)
I have seen one CAI with the stock smog pump hose and some goofy looking K&N filter on the end. Is that necessary? Can I just leave it with an open hose in the engine bay? What are my other options or retaining it?

Well, alot of people run with the air pump sucking unfiltered air for years and have no problems. Myself, I would get one of these..

This filter is designed to attach directly to the inlet of the air pump. Many have needed a simple and effective way of filtering the air pump air without having to run a separate hose and connection to the turbo intake. Here’s your solution. Comes pre-oiled and ready to install.

So until that filter arrives from Rotary Performance should I run open hose or open air pump? Basically should I leave the hose on or not? Does it matter?
