on the two gtis ive owned and the one xsi.

they have a pipe that comes off the main throttle body. this has a secondary pipe off to the hermholts box.

every single car ive had has had the smaller pipe snap or pull itself out of the larger pipe. i can "fix" and by that i mean silicone it back in.

it works but, is there an aftermarket replacment for this section of tubing that isnt a shoddy peice of crap that will break?

thanks again

jim

Yep a breather filter for the stepper
And a closed induction kit for the throttle-body Ninja

just get a better condition pipe and dont break it when you take the hose off.

probably, go look for one if you must.

For ease Jimmy, as suggested remove the small hose and fit that from the stepper with a small breather and then run a K&N or similar off an elbow.
