On the front of the intake there is a vacuum line that goes to a canister on the passenger side. Is it needed? I just found that the vacuum line is dry and cracked....i dunno if this is the source of my vacuum leak, but it starting to seem like hte culpret.....Can i cap it off or do i need ot by a new line? Just wondering.

Mike

You can cap off the intake side but dont cap off the canister side....The fumes from your gas tank filter through that canister and still need a place to vent...

I have a small K&N on the canister line and I've capped off my intake....My car runs fine..

I would keep the vacuum line connected to the intake if your worried about smog though..
