Intake Question

Forgive my lack of knowledge and terms

I installed a intake into my buddys 91 Si Hb, and the main connector goes in fine(the big one) their is also a little connector. but we need a tube for it. Is it ok if he drives with it not connected for a bit? Or will his car blow up.

it's also ilegal and will get you a $510 emmisions ticket if you get pulled over.

best thing to do is to go down to performance improvements..and spend the $2 for the pvc piping that connects it all and save yourself the hassle

Very good thing.....any time you can make the car feel 100 000km less is always positive.
