?'s about deleting A.I.R.

so, when you install non-emissions headers or do A.I.R. delete what did you use to plug up the A.I.R. hole on your intake? would some sort of bondo/plastic filler work?

You can get a cap and a worm clamp, thats doing ti right and doing it clean.

In the back of the intake companies offer Block off plates made out of aluminum.

On the block off plates, on the back of the intake mani, what do you guys recommend using to seal it off? The gaskets that come in the intake mani set, black sealant or the copper sealant?
Thanks guys.

From: somewhere that doesn't get snow

when i bought my WS6 airbox last year there was a rubber cover over the AIR hose port and since i still have AIR i took it off (and probably threw it away since i don't know where it is now) but the hose is 3/4 inch and you could probably get some sort of rubber 3/4 in cap at a hardware/plumbing supply store. i know for a fact that it's 3/4 because i had to extend my AIR hose to fit the ws6 box and i still have some of the hose i bought and i just checked it and its definately 3/4"

i just got a piece of rubber hose that would fit in the hole and slid it in there. then just sealed it with black RTV because thats all i had lying around. its worked well for me so far.
