My Opti Vent Tubes not hooked up....?

Well I'm in the middle of changing my opti and there really isnt any vent tubes coming off the damn thing.


Could this cause a problem? The only hose that is coming off is a black one about 5 inch wide that is connected to the black plastic side of the opti and is just dangling there. And where it suppose to go into the elbow the blue peice has a stopper on it and is just sitting there.

Would this cause a problem? Specially with the one that i'm having? ( Missing bog down. bearly drive ect.)


Anywho know where i can get the hoses for them and all attachments if there is any?

Might cause a vaccum leak.

Poke around on www.shbox.com for awhile, you should find everything you need there.

Do you think it could allow water/moisture into the opti and ruin it?

Without any hoses connected you aren't creating any air flow through the opti to vent it so it will act like a non-vented opti.
