I have some floating vacuum lines, I have a general Idea as to where they go but I want to be sure. The first one is here:



It appears like the vaccuum line connects to the capped off connection right behind the IAC.

Secondly, while looking at my chiltons this one appears to connect next to the EGR while in stock form. With the cobra intake there is no connection for this vacuum line, does everyone else have this capped off?



Thanks for the help.

Those are for a stock EGR spacer, those hoses run coolant through the stock intake/EGR setup.

Just trim them up and make them smaller like I did, and you wont see them. But be sure to re cap them (liek they already are)

The one you have your finger on, looks to me like a coolant line that connects at the heater core lines. Just incase your not sure, its the 2 metal pipes joined together that run along side the passenger side fuel injectors. I pulled that plug off "if thats what it is" and put a vacuum cap over the hole in the Heater core lines. Make if you do this, to put some sort of clip to hold the vacuum cap down, the pressure from the coolant might blow the vac cap right off. Im not to sure about that second one, where does the other side to that connect to?

The coolant lines just get connected or capped off or removed if you follow them bac to their sources

Alright, I'm going to trim them down and recap them. Thanks Mustang5L5 that picture really helped me figure out a few other things. Such as, where the EGR system connects to the intake.
