Stock 05 GT intake question
When I removed my stock 05 GT intake and replaced it with a CAI last year I noticed there was a white ceramic looking "filter" inside the tube. I can't recall what it is called but I think it is there to keep fumes from exiting out the intake after the engine is turned off.
Is it necessary to put it in the CAI tube or should I leave it out. I'm getting custom Bama tunes on a new SCT4 tuner later this week and wondering if they assume it is in or out or if it makes any difference.
Thanks for any replies!

That mini "catalytic converter" was put in early 2005 models to clean up the air going INTO the engine. Late 2005 and 2006-2009 models didn't have it and put out an extra 5rwhp as a result of having this restriction removed.
You certainly don't need it in your CAI and the Bama tune will assume it isn't there.

Thanks for the replies. Alex I'm not sure what your reference is to "Bama Ticket". Do you mean the form I filled out regarding my specific car when I bought the tuner? I guess I should have asked that question in the comments space but I didn't think about it until yesterday when I was out burning up the 87 octane gas so I could fill the tank with 91. Thanks again!

Sorry not trying to thread hi-jack, but since this was brought up, I was wondering if you can just pull that ceramic peice out of the stock air intake. I am still running the stock air intake tube on my 05 GT, and it has that piece in there. Any issues with removing it.
