So Friday night I bought an AEM intake from Sam (thanks Sam) and proceeded to follow the intructions for removal. I go over to remove the hose from the intake to the head (PCV I am assuming) and tried the mini screwdriver and pulling technique that usually works well with vacuum hoses. Not so much this time. The 90 degree plastic piece shattered. *crap*
So I proceed to install, and sure enough it looks like I need to put that hose and plastic bend into the AEM intake. Not good at all. So I went to South Coast on saturday morning and special ordered what I thought I would need. Turns out today I got the hose only. The only way to get the plastic piece is to order the entire stock intake, which seems a tad excessive for a removal plastic bend at $144. So I tried Rigo's suggestion at Mesa hose, and they didnt have anything remotely like that.
So Im throwing this up to the crowd here to see if anyone else has a suggestion.
