It should come with those hoses. I'm not exactly sure what they do, but I would imagine you need them. Someone else may know for sure.

Has the check engine light come back on again? If so, did you run the codes?

 

the cel is off, the wires and plugs fixed that problem but the stuttering still happens. Hmm looks like i'll have to call up the company i bought the CAI and tell them what the package didnt come with.

 

you can pick up the hose that runs from the valve cover to the CAI at any auto parts store. Measure what diameter the inside of the hose needs to be and take a guess to the length. go into the parts store and tell them you need that diameter crankcase breather hose, the length you guessed plus 6" to be sure you have enough. Should be no more than a buck or two.

BTW the AEM CAI should have come with it.

 

yeah it should have came with it, but apparently there were no hoses at all in my package. It was in a AEM box as well.

 

BTW what do rubber grommets look like cuz i never heard of anything like that? im supposed to have two of them.

god i need to learn more about this stuff

 

A "rubber grommet" is a general term typically used to describe some sort of rubber ring or tube type thing.
the only rubber things you should be worried about with a CAI are the ones that connect the tubes together or connect the CAI to the throttle body and one mount that holds it to the frame rail near the headlight.
The ones that connect it to the throttle body are just large enough slip over the outside of the CAI. the mount should look like a rubber plug with a bolt through it. Only the bolt doesn't go through it. It's two bolts with the heads fastened together with an inch of rubber to allow vibration and movement of the engine in relation to the frame.

 

yeah i have all the install pieces except the hoses sigh... :a:

 

you dont need the rubber hoses..ive had many intakes no need at all

 

well im a complete noob when it comes to this stuff so i'll stick with the instructions and be safe

 

the need for that hose depends on where you live. Some state's emissions testing will fail you immediatly if they see a breather on the valve cover, which you would need to install with no hose to the intake.
Then again they don't seem to check if the hose runs down and runs somewhere else.... like out the bottom of the car.
