Anyone with a AEM Cold Air Intake...

[TalonESi]

Has that cap that plugs the hole for (I forgot the name of it, that tube that use to connect from the intake to the cat for emissions that got recalled) ever fallen off for you? Mine has disappeared/fallen off/got lost at the shop, and I don't know the best way to cap it off, I got a 1/2" PVC cap but it barley snaps on at the end of the cap and before I hammer it on, I'd like to know if this is the right size, because I don't want to bend anything.

i used a little rubber cap that goes on one of those door stops. you know the ones that look like springs and make the funny noise. it fits like a charm and i haven't had any problems with it yet.

 

[guedo512]

i put electrical tape over it. no problumes so far.

 

[TalonESi]

So did both of yours fall off like mine did? Jason, where did you get one big enough to fit? I know exactly what your talking about but the ones in my houes are pretty tiny

 

[Bd1000Eclipse]

i didn't know what it was for so i put a little filter on the end of it.

 

[TalonESi]

Heh, what kind of filter is that small? If I were you, I'd cap it off, it would be defeating the hole purpose of the cold air extension, since it would from the pressure decrease inside the pipe suck in a lot of hot air from the engine compartment.

True...

I capped mine off by using a little rubber plug...

Thought about running a filter on it but i thought that it would defeat the purpose of the filter on the end...


How you like the tone of your aem?

 

[cucumber]

Just use a little rubber plug.

 

[TalonESi]

Where can you get a little rubber plug at ?

I love the tone of AEM's CAI, especially once you hit 4k rpm's, my friends say they can hear me from a mile away and that "it sounds sooo good", people also ask me what kind of exhaust I have, yet I haven't put my catback on yet, so it's still stock exhaust.

 

[Jason]

you can probably find a rubber plug at the plumming section of a local hardware store. i got my plug from a door stop display at lowes harware store. i just took it off the display and walked out.

 

[guedo512]

the plug aem gave me didnt fit. thats why i taped it off.

 

[TalonESi]

I'd rather have a plug than a cap, it will keep the tube more cylindrical.

 

[guedo512]

cylindrical. good choice for a word, i like it.

 

[TalonESi]

, I didn't know if there was another word to explain it... err, I guess tubular, but that just doesn't sound as cool as cylindrical.

 

[guedo512]

no cylindrical definately sounds good. you should make a thread on kool words. thats different.

 

[TalonESi]

yeah, and rice would be called "anti-power enhancers"
