Always thought it was a dealer part, till I found that the auto works has them. But I know the dealer does, the Chevy dealer down the street gave me one. Go figure, something free from a dealer.

What grommet are you referring to?

You can grommets at your local hardware or home supply store.

yes, i went and got a grommet from home depot and it's fine as long as your intake material isn't thicker than i'd say about 1/8th of an inch. PVC ir ABS plastic is about 1/4 inches thick, give or take. I asked the people there and they were no help. =\

The PVC drops into a baffle (Part # 12538682). Sp. order only. 4 to 5 days. This is for the 1997 and 1998. Don't know what car we are working with. But found my bill. Kit was $13.36.
Hope this helps

i did mention it was a 99' 3.8L n/a but none the matter...i found a company that sells 1/4" thick with 1/2" OD called cableorganizer.com coincidentally they're out of florida! thanks for the effort though..turned out to be $4.80 shipped

Glad to hear you found it. Good price.

Your not talking about the "O" ring are you. For your car there is nothing else. Lowes or HD have those, for pennies.

nah it's essentially this

only i dont need the sleeve. regular grommets arent as thick where the slot is hence the speciality and price
