Default SLP Lid/air pump hose

Stupid question...

My SLP lid has the hose that connects to the air pump i believe it is?

I'm removing my air pump and wondering what I should do with the hose, not really sure what I could block off that hole with on the lid, perhaps I can just plug the hose down by the air pump and call it a day?

Ive already removed the other hose that connected from the pump to the t-fitting by the rear intake.

Delete all the hoses and everything.. then...
Go to lowes. Bring the lid.

I also did the chassis-plug thing on my Blackwing lid,
but I found black plastic ones (also at Lowe's) that
are a good match to the lid color. I used a bit of
weatherstrip adhesive to make sure it stayed put.

Hose then comes right on out with the AIR pump.

Yeah it got everything off now.

Both hoses.. air pump... removed the t-fitting and capped the vacuum with a screw earlier today.

Going to lowes right now, so they're called Chassis plugs? I'll try and find a black one.. right now I left the 90 degree elbow on with a rubber plug blocking the hole off *temp*

Thanks guys!

All done! a spare one is in the picture of what it looks like, only other one was a chrome one shown above, I just used some krazy glue around the inner lip, fits pretty flush.

it was only $1.15 for a 2-pack.. haha.

Are you sure they dont have them? These aren't labeled the same as the chrome ones, but in the section they only had two plugs, both shown above.

I'd try another Lowes!

that looks awesome !! I did the install yesterday and used something in the grommet but that looks so stock its amazing !! Does it fit real snug or did you have to glue it to seal?

Heading to Lowes soon !

is there a Hp advantage to plugging the lid and putting a breather filter on the hose that goes to the pump?
