i remember during a hard 1-2 shift in my car, my old short ram came apart internally. There was a metal cap (about an 1.5 inch in diameter) on the inside of the cone, that held the element together. As I did the redline shift, the car was still revving all super high, because the throttle cable was stuck...i was so scared i didnt know wtf happened. luckily it happened down my street, so i took my iintake apart, and found the metal cap lodged in the throttle body butterfly.
