Default What is this hose for?

Under the hood, the hose that is on the drivers side over the fender. It looks like poop and I want it gone. What is it, and how can I do that?

Also, the air hose that goes into the air lid. Can I remove or relocate that?

all those hoses are part of your air system and yes you can delete all of that

check with local inspection laws first, not sure what kind of emissions test you got in that state.

it goes to the air pump and the only way to get rid of it is to eliminate the air system. just get it tuned out if you dont want to deal with the ses light

Thats the airhose/supply to the back of the motor for the manifolds. Yank all that crap off. You can have the AIR pump tuned out , pull the fuse or leave it on(under the headlight) Cap off the lines and the intake.

I ran mine, including the hood release through the drivers side fender well . . just like the !wire mod for the passenger side shock tower.

The hose that goes to the air box, was shortened, and a little breather filter added below the fuse box.

The air pump is located just behind the driver side fog lamp. . . . once you remove the wheel well liner everything is accessible, and you can see how the relocate a mini filter, got one of the silly "ricer" breathers from Autozone or Pep Boys. Shortened the OEM hose and clamped the filter on . . The got some plastic hose bars from ACE to assemble the AIR hose through the wheel well. I unfortunately did not put a liner around the hose, so when it is a bit chilly the hose squeaks as it rubs on the metal support.

I enlarged an existing hole in the fender support with a Dremel to feed the hose and hood latch through.

If you REALLY want to keep it, then fine, hide the hose.

But in my opinion, take it off! The air injection system runs for a little bit after a cold start to help get the cats up to proper operating temperature. It's practically worthless, ugly, and adds unnecessary weight.

It's not that I necessarily want to keep it or not. I am not working right now, so I am looking at free things to do. If I removed it, I'd have to get a new belt, tune, and plate for the manifold. Just easier to keep it. I'm not fast enough that the weight savings would even be noticeable.

Also, does anyone know where I can get rubber grommets for the wire mod and this mod?
