i have a 95 gs and i bought an intake off ebay and the piece where you connect the vacuum line to the throttle body is okay but there is another opening on the intake tube....see pic below...... im not sure what it is for.....this isnt my pic so you wont see it but i circled where it is........it looks like another place to connect a line or something??? anyone know what its for?? it looks just like the piece closer to the t/b that the blue hose is connected too.........thanks guys :dsm:

You can just edit your post, and at the bottom in the box where it says additional options there is a button that you can click on to attach your picture files
 
does anyone know what this is for???? is not in the pic but its a hole just like the one on the upper side of the intake tube??
 
There's only a couple of possbilities really. Crankcase ventilations (a tube that comes off your valve cover), and emissions canister.

Turbo models have a couple extra, one more for recirculation and one from boost controller dump.
 
Ive got a 95 Talon 420a...My tube dosnt have that extra port, I didnt disconnect anything there when I installed it either. Just the crankcase breather hose. Im thinking it is probably there to make it fit more applications, like the turbo application just mentioned that needs an extra port. I agree, just cap it with a rubber cap...
 
i capped it off and my intake is making my exhaust sound like it cant breathe....i have the mozart racing exhaust by konig........... it doesnt sound as strong as it did without the intake....any ideas why.......all the fittings are tight and all that......... :dsm:
 
cap it off, there is only one line that needs to goto the intake, and its the valve cover vent back towards the battery.
 
I have the same intake, cheap and effective. I had the cheap filter on and it slowed me down, so I went to Autozone and purchased the K&N filter. It sounds better and pulls a lot harder. Just get the K&N and you will be a lot happier. Later

P.S. Just cap off that other hole it's not used for anyting.
