[wrxfreak123]

ok i have a hose hanging down from just behind the front bumper. it draggs the ground. i dont know how it got there or what it is. i think when i took off my factory airbox it fell off and did not notice? mabe. well i found that it goes to the front center section i think its what its called. were the diff stuff is located. anyway what is it? i checked the air box to see if it could connect but i saw no connection. what the hell does it do!!!!!!??? i have no probelms with the car it will still run and engage 4wd. thanks.

If it is attached to the pumpkin on the front diff, then it is the vent tube to keep pressure off of the seals so they are not as likely to leak. It is supposed to attach to the air box to help keep dirt and water out when you are off roading.

Just tie it up under the hood some where and but a vent plug for it at the dealer or parts store. You could also use a PCV filter on the end of the hose too.

Hello,
I had the same issue a couple months ago, once again JDPascal is right. On the side of the air cleaner box there should be three small brackets that form an upside down U shape, the hose should enter going up in the one closest to the firewall then turn at the peak and finall go through and face down in the one closest to the radiator. But it really doesnt matter where you put it , it shouldnt affect any performance.

ok i routed the hose and took a zip tie and tied it to a hose. i forgot what the hose i attached it to did but i had to drill two big holes into my air intake because i put on a high flow air filter and took the air box out. i had to buy rubber hose to cut and rerought the two hoses that went to the air box. im 17 and ive never done that before so im proud of my self. anyhow my car runs great actually. when im driving i love to roll my window down and step on the gas ans her the intake suck . when i get a job soon ill be doing a little work on it. heres what i plan to have done
lock right diffs front and rear
arb snorkel
front and rear hitch recevers
a winch mounting plate to mount a winch to the recivers
a winch (for when things get sticky)
3 inch rancho lift
i live in northwest georgia and have access to some pretty muddy trails. does anyone have any sudgesstions on what to get. im trying to keep the budget at 5,000 and no high lifts just going mudding and trails occassionally. and additions to the list?
