Replaces the factory coupling tube that has the intake port for the CCV coming from the engine.

You no longer use that port so it needs to be sealed or the coupling replaced........ie the 4"OD X 3-1/2" steel tube.

See the following wiki article.

4" diameter steel tubing could be found at exhaust shops & truck shops that do exhaust systems as they may have so scrap leavins.

With you guys doing this mod do you see any oil on your driveway or were do ya'll have it draining to? When I pull the tubes off for the last time I am going to have them Powder Coated and want to do the CCV mod at the same time.

No drips on the drive..........just fumes.

Good to hear. Did you notice how much oil was left in your boots before you did this mod? I get quite abit of oil that I why I was wondering if you get any oil in the drive way.

can it be sealed with a plug or does it have to be some kind of gel sealant

 

[CHPMustang]

The CCV outlet usually leaves maybe a drip every few days.

It's not whats in the boots it's what's in the intercooler

can you just use a PVC cap to plug the intake tract?
