Are y’all saying that little plastic piece that the vacuum hose plugs into isn’t supposed to flop and turn around all loose? I guess I just assumed that was by design when I installed mine.
No I don’t think it’s designed to do that, it’s designed to swivel 360 but it seems the hole for it is slightly too big so it wobbles as well, APR sent me the one that comes on the carbon version (its a different design) so hopefully that will be more snug. But I guarantee a small O ring inbetween the hose plug and the intake pipe will keep it held down.
That’s the sacrifice you make for living in paradise brah 🏝
I have the same worry and I also don't like something that feels so LOSE in my intake. What if it eventually fails and get sucked into the turbo?!
Inside with the windows up it sounds a little throatier and louder. But with the windows cracked the spooling noises are more than I was expecting, I almost thought I left the intake tube disconnected. My opinion could change though one I get used to it. It just seems like it will draw a lot of unwanted attention.
I always end up putting the stock intake back on because I get tired of the whooshes BUT always revert back to the open intake because I end up missing them lmfao, im hesitate to install this one until my new apr hose grommet comes in the mail
Let me know your solution, I feel like a small oring in the middle of the hose grommet against the piping would keep the inside portion sucked down and sealed if that makes any sense.
Definitely double check your mounts. Mine is very solid except the floppy little vacuum hose piece.
Where is this paradise with free shipping you speak of? I need to move there.
