Intake questions!!
So, I'm going to do a custom DIY intake system using the stock airbox as a heatshield. I have the intake and couplers, but the one thing that stopped me from slapping the intake on today was the little hose thing on the left of the stock airbox. I'm guessing I shouldn't leave it open to air. Does it require a filter as well? I've seen tiny K&N Filters, but I don't know which is right. Sorry if these are noob questions, I'm to lazy to use the search right now. hence it's almost 12am.

Yeah just go to a music store and buy a little foam microphone cover, it fits perfect and i'm pretty sure thats what came with my modshack vtda. But you dont have to take my word for it.

Maybe I'll go cut a piece of foam out of my mattress pad and duct tape it on the end. [:'(]

A foam microphone cover?!? Seems like a cheap way of addressing the problem. Especially when a VTDA runs $235. Definitely didn't expect that.

RE: Intake questions!!
he should fab the intakes so they can accept both the MAF and the secondary air injection hose as well...
what do you do with this hose? ziptie it to something else in the engine bay so it doesn't move around?

Yeah thats all i did. I just kinda tucked it out of the way of moving parts and zip tied it. I'll eventually get a small filter just for looks, i like those little things. The problem is that hose would have to be longer to reach the vtda cause i dont think it will.

Thank's for all the feedback. Since I just bought a Forge 007p (installed it today) I'm running little low on cash, so I'm going to go to Autozone and just buy a conefilter for about 30 bucks and get that microphone foam stuff.... I can't really tell much difference from the Forge DV to the OEM one with a stock airfilter/box.
