looking at my V6 engine on the left hand side is a long metal tube with a cap. Anyone know what this is?

How about a pic.

I believe what you're looking at is the line from the A/C condensor to the evaporator. Take off the cap and that's where you hook up the freon to recharge your A/C system.

Not to be rude, but whats the deal with putting a piece of billet aluminum onto anything on the car that has threads? I just don't get it. That billet crap is expensive and doesn't do anything!

Guys and gals that enter lots of car shows are always looking for ways to improve the looks of the engine bay. I mean, clean is clean. But--the caps make it SHINE!!

I think scrming has more $$ in billit caps than I do in total mods [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

If you really want it show ready you should hide every wire and small line in the car, and fill all the mounting holes in the engine bay, so its just the 'motor' sitting there, rather then just sticking caps and looms all over everything.
