Intake hose line ????

Here is a picture with some quetions on it. The main question i have is the line that goes under the intake manifold? I DID DO A SEARCH BUT the only thing i could find was people taking about the hose on the right side of the stock air box that goes nowhere and the line that goes to the air pump that goes moooooo.

That is the air pump discharge line. It should connect to the Apexi filters.

Not all intakes have enough holes for all the stock lines. You can do one of two things:

1. Vent the stock BOV to open air or purchase an aftermarket BOV to vent. Then shift all the connections over one to replace where you remove the BOV and then connect the air pump relief line.

2. Stick something on the end to muffle the sound but not block the air.

It will make an annoying MOOOO sound left open. There are several threads here on the forum of ways to quiet it.

Here's the Dale Clark trick -

Everyone's right, that extra hose is the vent for the airpump air. The ACV routes air from the air pump - some times, there's extra air that's not needed. If so, the ACV dumps the air to "relief", which is just the extra air. Unfortunately, this makes a rather obnoxious "mooing" sound.

After some experiments, I found a killer solution to the moo. Go to Wal-Mart, and buy a 7/8" black rubber chair foot. They're designed to go over a dowel at the bottom of a stool or the like, and kind of look like the rubber bottom for a crutch or something. It will fit PERFECTLY on that nipple up by the intake manifold.

Now, take your chair foot and drill 5 small holes in it to let the air out. Put it on with a hose clamp. Done. Looks clean, gets rid of ALL the moo, and you don't have goofy plumbing running across your engine bay. I've been running mine for some time now with no problems. I'm slowly testing different intake ideas looking for the best, clean solution to things .

Dale

Thanks DaleClark..... Whenever you have a chance please send a picture.

I guess the pipe is 7/8 not 3/4

Will this restrict the air to much?
