Im trying to put in my stock air intake arm and Im a little confused as to the connecting hose going from the arm to the valve cover. I know that one end goes into the arm whereas the other one goes into the valve cover where. However, that connecting hose has two additional outlets that I cant figure out where to connect them to?

My apologies if this is a stupid question but I cant figure it out for the life of me.

Thanks!

 

the additional outlets are for a rubber tube that connects to a hole beside one of the runners on the intake manifold. The hole should be on the far passenger side of the intake manifold flange (cylinder 4 I think)

Good call i had to go look

 

Hmmmm....

Im going to go check it out!!!

Thanks!

 

K just checked and I honestly cant find it... Does anyone have any pics?

 

I assume you have an after-market intake of some sort currently installed? The other tube that you're asking about carries coolant between the IM flange and the TB. When installing and after-market intake, people often replace this line (since it's top portion is no longer being used to connect the valve cover to the intake arm) with a section of rubber tubing. If you want to reinstall the metal piece, you'll have to remove this tubing first. It should be easy to spot near the bottom of the TB traveling right next to the runner on the IM flange.

 

Yah...

I put back the stock intake today! The CAI just wasnt for me...

But When reinstalling the factory hose I cant figure out where the bottomr outlets connect to. I tried to figure out what ITRRTI was talking about but I couldnt find it..

 

Here are some quick photos of both ends of the tube.





If this were the stock setup, a short rubber tube would connect to each of these locations, and the other end of each tube would then connect to each side of the metal tube.
