I have a 1999 Accord V6 EX

Ok, I have this problem installing this new Injen SRI of mine. I haven't even started installing the thing, really, I'm just trying to remove the stock air box and something has me worried.

I have a picture to show you, as well, but in words, the kit brings a hose that I'm supposed to replace with the stock hose that the car has. The thing with this hose, that connects to the air duct, is that there is also another hose that is welded to it that goes from one side of the throttle body to the other. These are two different hoses, probably serving different purposes, but they act as one piece, it seems.

They both probably remove any water that may go through. Both hoses are metal, welded together, and each leave and enter at different parts of the motor. One from the air duct to the throttle body. That's the one I have new from Injen and the other that just goes from side of the throttle body to the other.



My question is, how am I supposed to handle this situation? Am I supposed to just plug up the second hose that will be exposed?

I guess if there's someone here that has installed a short ram or cold air intake in their 6th generation accord, that they would know this easily.

I desperately need some help on this one.

<U>UPDATE</U>

I have another problem now. I don't exactly understand the directions that are being given to me. I noticed that I could not apply the exact concept in the picture that was given to me with the AEM intake just below this post.

I managed to take off the stock air box and after simply placing the step hose on the throttle body for reference this is what I saw.



Obviously I'm not gonna have any room to connect any piece of hose to the corresponding spot on the intake pipe. That stock metal hose is conflicting with the step hose I'm supposed to put on.

I noticed afterwards that the early year 6th generation accord had different specs here and the directions are as follows.




What exactly do I have to do here? "B" catches my eye. I don't know what Bs about. I see everything they're talking about, but don't know what move to make. It's confusing the hell out of me. I would so appreciate it some help here.

i didnt remove anything i just cut a short piece of hose to connect it ...

 

That's not a bad idea. That's not a bad idea, at all! I think I'm gonna definitely do that.

What car is that, by the way? Same 6 Generation Accord?

Edit: Naw, it can't be.

From replacing the 80 lb stock box on my 5th gen with AEM's V2 intake, what your looking at is the breather tube running from the valve cover to the intake tube. This is some bullshit emissions crap some idiot sitting behind a desk thought up to make your car more eco friendly! Basically plug the one on your intake tube, and get a breather filter to pop on your valve cover. The other one just runs coolant from your engine to the IAC so obviously need that one.

Get rid of the other one, I can't remember the last time I wanted 'hot' valve cover gases inside my 'cold' air intake...

Edit: AEM's kit actually does come with a plug for this tube to slip on their intake within the kit I received.

 

Ok, so the one that doesn't run for the air pipe is the one that's really necessary?

You recommend that I don't use the provided hose? I just plug up that nipple on the intake pipe where the hose would run?

Just hook it up like it shows in the picture above. That's the proper way to do it.

yes its a 6th gen ... '01 accord ex to be specific

 

Wait, so I'm not supposed to use the entire supplied hose by injen? I can just cut as much as I need and connect the two without even having to touch or remove the factory metal hose?

 

You leave everything stock. You use the rubber hose to connect the stock metal piece to the intake. Trim it as needed.

 

I made an update to my thread. Help is appreciated... tremendously.
