What do you do with this bit? Air intake

[LB197]

So ive got a cone filter i want to put on my 197 but what do people do with this bit?

Thanks

its attached to the airbox that your going to remove so it will come out with it, it makes me wonder if you should be touching air filters if a basic question like this complicates matters? also you'll probably lose a little power with a cone filter in exchange for sound

The only cone filter kit that doesn’t lose power seems to be the Ktec one. It comes with a heat shield. An open cone filter is likely to suffer from heat soak and harm performance

Thanks for the reply, ive changed head gaskets and all sorts, but only really ever worked on older cars which dont have many sensors and things, just thought id ask before going ahead

Just blank off the end of the small rubber pipe and you’ll be fine, but expect to lose some power as said

Bit of a cheeky reply

Leave the small sensor electic plug plugged in or you will get an engine warning light. Doesnt need any of the rubber hoses attached to it.

Surely one is a vacuum hose so it would need blanking off at least otherwise he may find his idle is a bit skyward?

Yup at the manifold end. I just said nothing needs attached to the sensor.
