Perfect Sound Tube Plug (at the firewall)

[bigbelly]

I installed a JLT CAI and subsequently removed the sound tube piping. I plugged the hole at the firewall with a "Closed PCV System Type" Oil Filler Cap (rubber, manufactured by Stant). Part #11072; has "OIL" stamped on front face of cap. I think it was less than $2 with tax. A little bit of grease and some grunting when I pushed it in, plugged her hole nice and tight...

Yeah, photography is not my strong suit.

What did you use to delete the hole at the CAI? I want to delete mine.

You can buy firewall grommets at the parts store too, would look OEM.

better not take it to the quick lube anymore. some high school kid might fill your driver's floorboard with oil.....

JLT's CAI has a hole on the carbon fiber intake tube that allows you to use the sound tube. The kit comes with a rubber cover to go over that hole if you don't want the sound tube. The carbon fiber look is pretty sweet with the GT/CS.

FTW!

Looks good, but what did you plug the CAI with? The C&L doesnt come with a plug.

JLT CAI kit has a plug for the hole on the cold air intake tube (this hole allows you to connect the sound tube plumbing if you want).

I wish there was a delete edit function here!

Dood! Use your imagination! A cap from a bottle of Thousand Island dressing worked great on my Steeda....

I have it on good authority the Ranch works well. Stay away from the wimpy Vinaigrette's though....Heh!

I've seen that, but does it seal good enough un metered air will not enter?

I'm sure a little RTV and an overnight would take care of any looseness.

It's fine. I had to dremel the threads to make it fit correctly, and yes, a bead of RTV or silicone around the inside edge seals it completely..

A bit ghetto....

Airaid kit comes with a firewall plug and intake tube cap. Just saying....

Other manufactures need to include ALL parts needed to delete sound tube.

How much quieter is the cabin now w/ out the sound tube?
