Vapor Trap Yes/NO?????

Look under your hood and it's inside that big black rubber hose thing. Unhook it from the air filter box and it should look like a white honeycomb-shaped plastic/metal thing. Stick a screwdriver on 2 oppostie ends of it and grab one edge with needlenose pliers and yank the damn thing out.

Takes 2 min to pull out, Pulled mine and no rough Idle or anything else so far..

K&N is probably just covering their a$$.

They probably had to say that to get the 'OK' as a part that is 'emissions approved'.

haha i agree!!! i remember the CAI's for the 99+ said to reinstall the maf screen or it will result in the same loss of performance. its only there incase your filter falls off and it sucks something into it, then of course your engine is gonna get messed up! but you guys don't have to worry to much about that since your filter isn't directly in the fender well. i consider that "tampon" of a h/c trap a secondary precaution from the factory incase such a thing should happen.

I would hesitate to believe the gains from HC removal on a untuned car, I have seen that same gain, if not more from doing multiple runs. These cars always seem to start low with the peak pull being the 3rd run.

Went to take mine out and it wasn't there either. Build date of 4/11/05, California car too...?

Maybe it got sucked into your engine! hehe, that would suck

 

[bigcat]

does anyone actually have an air/fuel read out with the hc filter removed?

 

[brownbrosperf]

Yes and it did not change the air/fuel on any of the cars I dyno'd

 

[bigcat]

OUT IT COMES!!!!!

I can't wait til the air is dense with hydrocarbons. Remove your traps and let the ozone roll!

ahhhh..... inhale the hydrocarbons...

I yanked mine this weekend. Simple and easy to do. Didn't produce any noticeable differences, but hey at worst it dropped my curb weight by a half a pound.

 

[trent_ky]

i just removed mine...i cant tell a difference but it is gone nonetheless
