I just received my K&N CAI that I ordered off ebay. The only problem is that it is missing one of the pieces (N hose; 3.5 "id x 2"I, black silicone - 08698). Does anybody have any advice to get another?

The company I ordered it through hasn't responded to anything I have sent since I bought the CAI (which wasn't a good sign, but I didn't back out afterwards). I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Michael

 

Anybody? I went by Home Depot tonight and the guy that worked there told me that they didn't carry them there. I thought that sounded kind of strange that they wouldn't have them there, but I don't know much about this sort of stuff.

Do any hardware stores or other type of stores carry these?

 

Maybe Autozone

 

its not a special hose....go to home depot...and get ahose the same size...and made out of failry stretchy rubber. you have to make a tight fit....so it is sealed.

 

call K&N and get one from them

 

I had the same exact problem. Went to a couple of auto parts stores till I found one that would sell a 2" piece of hose (3.5" inside diameter). One store would only sell it by the foot - $33.00!

No wonder I could get it so cheap ($190.00) on ebay.

Good Luck, hope you find what you need. You'll love it, when it's installed!

2 inches? thats not long enough....

 

K&N is supposed to be shipping the part to me. That is strange that two of us had the same problem with the K&N.

The installation instructions say 2" w/ a 3.5" diamater. This is just the part that connects the tube to the filter part.

I hope the part comes soon b/c I am getting very antsy about putting the CAI on and seeing what it does.

 

I just installed my K&N and I have a horrible sound at idle. It sounds like a nasty whistle or something. I don't know how to explain it. UofH2005 might be able to explain it better since he was there to hear it. Has this happened to anyone? I tried to search for it, but I couldn't really find anything like this. Does anyone have any advice. I took the filter off and put it back on and took the tube off the throttle body and reinstalled it. I don't know what else to try.

Does anyone have somewhere that I can post a video of the engine and sound to get suggestions?

 

you install the long black hose?

 

Yep.

 

I really dont know how else to describe other than an intermitent high pitched whistle or whine.

Hey I just found this: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index....opic=32188&hl=

 

venom - that was me. check the nipple that sticks out the side of the K&N tube. this is where the long black hose connects to the left side valve cover of the engine. make sure the hole is drilled completely. mine was not, so i drilled it out using a 5/16" drill bit. squeal went away after that. let us know how u make out

 

Hey xpinoy, I checked and that is what happened to mine. Thank you so much for all your help and everyone else. I am going to drill the hole tonight or tomorrow and I will report back.

I hope that K&N fixes this problem b/c it is pretty annoying that they are sending out their CAI like this.

 

Hey guys. I got home from work just a little bit ago and I drilled a hole where K&N forgot to drill.

That was definitely the problem. Thanks again for everyone's help.

I love this CAI. I just wanted to write this real quick, it is time for me to go drive some more. haha.
