TBI Open Element question
Okay I'm sure this has been asked before but I was unsuccessful in locating an article that answered this question. Also I have downloaded the Tech Article as well and still nothing.

Anyway on to the question. What do I do with what looks like a tin foil exhaust connected to the snorkel from the block? If I pull the snorkel it'll leave that connected to nothing? or does it connect to the OE filter? Thanks for any and all help. - Kyle
