Default Those with K&N fipk, come in.

Hey I just got a used kit and I got it all installed, and it came time to install my little rubber grommet to put my Air temp sensor in to place and the hole is alot bigger then it needs to be? My stock rubber thing just just basically flops around in there, so I siliconed it for now, hope it holds.. What am I missing here?

The K&N kit comes with it's own grommet. I will say this though, the one it comes with doesn't hold the IAT sensor tight enough. There's two rings that engage in the grommet to lock it in place. After torquing the motor up, mine would always slip one of the rings and be holding on the second ring. Meaning that my IAT sensor was pulling part of the way out. Don't know if that makes any sense or not. I'd get one at the parts store and make sure it fits the sensor tight. Good luck!
