Check this site out before you decide. http://home.usadatanet.net/~jbplock/ISO5011/SPICER.htm [Credit to the original poster] The tests were for a diesel and I dont know if that makes a difference. As far as Im concerned, Im stickin with the K&N until I see a reply from them. If they were that bad, I doubt they would be the top seller they are, and woulda been around as long as they have.

Maybe I explained it wrong, here's a picture of it. It's located in the part of the hose close to the air filter (I don't think it would hurt anything to remove it - I don't think gas could travel that far back)

Don....
You are looking in the exact place that it should be...I guess they just forgot to intall it during the build..
I sure hope our stearing column and brake system is in better shape than the intake system from the plant
Well you lucked out mate...One less mod you need to make!

Maybe I'm confused, but I don't see the vapor trap on mine. I took the entire hose off and looked in both ends, plus inside the air filter cover. Is it supposed to be in the part shown here (see pic) or am I looking in the wrong place?

Some folks in other forums (shhh...I read other forums) say that a K&N filter and ripping out the air restricter (air silencer?) is preferred over a CAI due to the CAI being metal and therefore heating up and robbing HP.
