there is this round silver piece that goes in the acv hose, the one that is about 1 inch diameter and wraps around the back of the engine. with the intake comes this silver piece that you put in there that is likea restrictor, makes the inside of the hose only have like a 1/4 inch diameter, just wondering what this is for, thanks for all the help, and putting up with all my questions, scott

 

same question here, wat does that thing do? if i just put in the hose, it will slide down

 

The peice is designed to reduce the noise from the air pump.

 

These are good posts. I'll have to remember where they are when my intake comes that I ordered in DEC. from the STORE.

 

Oooooh, so that's the piece I didn't get.. figures, no wonder my air pump is so loud. Any ideas where I can pick one up, or an easy way to fabricate one? This is a contributing factor as to why I was going to a cold intake...

 

so how do i install the thing? do i just put it in the hose? then it'll move around hehe..

 

I put mine in just bc it was on the instructions...scott you put yours on bc I told you to mine has slide down but it does not go anywhere but inside the hose so *shrug*.....
Scott, hows the car coming along? have you gotten it to mazcare yet? I am pretty much disassembling everything to rewire it Oh well, call me sometime and we can take a look at yours

 

Is this something I should fabricate being that mine didn't come with one?

 

just to make sure, the silver thing does not go in the hose actually connecting to the smog pump correct. i looked over the instructions and saw that it didnt, but i still get that dying giraffe noise.

Mine also came with that round cylinder thing, but I didn't put it on because my air pump was removed when I installed the Greddy pulley kit.

For the person that's missing that round thing, pay shipping and I'll mail mine to ya.
