RX8 AEM cold air intake question.
Hi guys, its my first thread here.
So, i put on my a CAI for my 07 rx8, everything was working fine, but you know the CAI doesnt have place to put the vacuum, not like the old air box, so where should i place that? or just take it off?
thanks for reading!

you cap it with a nipple, you can get one of those at any autozone/pepboys
here's what it looks like, go to this thread and look at the picture

Say if this wasn't caped , what Type of code could this throw out? When Mazda replaced my engine it was torn off now I cannot access it to cap it off due too it is now more of a hole then a hose line I could weld it close is the only thin I can think of to secure it co
Pletely or is there a way i can replace the whole thing ?

Ah, ok. Well that is plastic. You could try using epoxy to fill it but there is always the danger of it coming loose and getting sucked into the engine. The best best is to replace the upper intake manifold.
