I just put the open air filter on and really like the way it looks, not to mention the nicer exhaust sound i'm getting, but was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of or atleast make all the tubes over my passenger side valve cover look nicer.

 

yes, hide them, remove them, replace them, or get http://www.coolflex.com/ .

wow thanks tas nice site, would look nice under my hood

 

those tubes are part of the heater valve. It doesn't let coolant flow through your heater unless the heater is turned on. Early 3rdgens didn't have this option. I plan to delete my hoses soon. Do a search on "heater valve delete". My damn plastic valve has broken 2 times already. I want it gone.

yeah if you dont need heat, why not take them out? its a pretty easy job...just get a couple heater hose caps or whatever and throw them on the radiator and the heater core and plug the hole in the intake and you are all set. you can easily add it back on the car..it looks a lot better without all that plumbing if you ask me. but then again, if you have seen my engine compartment, you already know how i feel about that .
