you can make your own for less than 5 bucks. All you need is some rubber hose and some clamps. Or you can get some fuel line and bend it and just connect it thats what i did look pretty good but didnt do anything for performance that i can tell.

Get 24" of hose and a couple caps to cap off the coolant ports and cut it the hose to length. I think its 3/8" but not positive.

Connect the tubes with some 5/16" or 3/8" fuel line from an autoparts store. The radiator side is bigger than the vent tube side on the block. I believe I have 3/8" on mine with a hose clamp on the motor side.


You don't need to plug the things in the throttle body. In fact, you can remove the throttle body, and yank those tubes out. It cleans up the look and gives a little more room to run the hose underneath.

I wouldn't leave the TB uncapped, there is a possibility that corrsion will start to form inside. I capped them off when I was doing it.
