So I finally got around to making a couple more mods...
Background Info and FYI:
After a long debate over what intake (if any) I would buy. MAC won it out due to local availability at Dallas Mustang. Install was super easy, except for the filter itself. The way the thing gets seated and held in place is by pulling the filter though the fender hole in the mounting bracket, while prying the inside wall of a channel (which is built into the filter's tube), such that the filter is held securely to the bracket. The difficulty comes with the fact that the channel and tubing on the filter part is a hard urethane, and the walls of the mounting channel are rather tall, meaning a lot of prying with a flat tip to get it through...
The Question:
I noticed that there is a hole on the upper steel tube in the kit. Check out: http://macperformance.com/store/PDF/3296.pdf
You'll notice that it has a black rubber bushing in it from the picture on the left. The question is... What goes in here? The original stock tubing / box only have the two obvious lines w/ the plastic MAF housing between...
Then there is what appears to be a little black plastic cap that came in the hardware bag. Nothing about it on the instruction sheet, and no ideas what it was intended for.
Note: It doesn't fit the extra hole in the steel tube...
CORRECTION: That cap does in fact belong here on any cars where the intake air temp sensor is located in the MAF assembly. Simply remove the rubber bushing and pop it in.
The car ran beautifully (as always) in my test, but having an open hole (albeit a small one) in the tube doesn't seem right at all.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!
