Default Air Recirculation Tube on 98 civic ex - AEM V2

There are two 5/8" holes in the upper intake pipe and one nipple on the AEM V2 Cold Air System for a 1996-2000 Civic EX. The nipple is for the Air Recirculation Tube according to the instructions, but I did not disconnect a tube when I removed the factory air box. The IAT and Breather fit into the holes easy, but where is the Air Recirculation Tube at?

I searched under, "Air Recirculation Tube" and "AEM V2" and did not find the answer.

Thank you for the help.

Wow... no one knows? I even emailed & called AEM yesterday and they have no idea. I spoke with a tech and he said he'd call me back. He never did, so I called him. He told me they haven't forgotten about me but they're still working on it.

AEM told me to block off the nipple, which is what I did in the first place. I wonder why the instructions state to install the air recirculation tube?

Case closed I guess. BTW it sounds great.

you can tap it off or buy a black tube to fit it and connect it to the ventilation pipe on the valve cover.

hook it up to your valvecover it is supposed to vacume your valve cover from unwanted gases.
