You do need to block that off though, its letting some of the air out that you want crammed into the engine.

ah well, i was close. mines a 02 so i got it. it doesnt do anything for you, and it kinda looks like crap. i am just too lazy to buy the little filter for the pump end and cap the lid.

all F-bodies had the air system. its an emissions component. they removed the EGR in 01-02 b/c of the different cam that met emissions a bit easier(didn't require the EGR, started using the LS6 intake).

LS1SS4EVER, i've heard alot of complaints about that SLP scoop for warmer areas of the country, such as texas where you live. If it's causing you problems, maybe just take it out? You don't want to divert too much air from your radiator?

You can get a filter from most sponsor for that hose too.. K&N, or even an el cheapo filter from autozone or something to stick in the hose, until you remove the air system entirely.

just put a baby filter on the end of the hose! i have the slp cold air with the add on piece from fasttoys that extends it to the air dam and I am happy with it. it makes it more like a true ram air setup, just have to remember to block it off when it rains
