Here is a hose leading into the air filter....but as you can see...it's not connected!

How am I supposed to get my big mits down there to push it back in? Does the wheel liner need to come off, or hit it from below?

Thanks!

Seems like an SAI hose, but it looks broken and not disconnected. You can just take out the airbox to give you enough room.

That would be you SAI pumps intake tube. Its unmetered air, so you can just leave it as is, or pull the airbox out and fix it

Just tape it up tight and you'll be fine.

Yeah buying a replacement for that would be a waste of money:

IMO, it needs to be fixed because that crack is letting unfiltered, unmetered air into your intake. I recommend electrical tape. Very high-tech

Then I must have one of the most advanced, space-age PCV breather tubes on the forum since I have at least 3 feet of electrical tape sealing various breaks in mine
