Best plug for XRS/GT intake to fit AWD

Post by Whelan »

Since I did order one for a GT/XRS. What makes the best plug for that exta tube adapter. I am almost tempted to go as far as cutting it to just above the main pipe, and clipping into it so I can fold/bend the ends to cover the hole, then use some quick-weld to seal it, and a call it a day?

I would measure it and get a vacuum cap or bypass cap from an auto parts store. I got mine at NAPA when I did my coolant bypass.
