I'm installing a SRI on my 03 CL type S and i have a question about the coolant hose. I found the AEM Cold air intake install guide and it says that I need to remove the coolant line. Why do I need to do this? Is there any way to bypass this step? won't coolant go everywhere? Thanks Guys

 

The coolant line runs along the vacuum line from the front of the engine. That's that hard line. 1 gets plugged in to the intake 1 gets plugged into the TB. In order to reach 1 or the other you have to replace both lines with separate hoses.
And only a small amount of coolant will come out. Put a rag around the line when you disconnect it. It isn't going to gush out.

 

thanks fuzzy. so i will need two new hoses? the intake i bought only supplied one and i believe it's for the vacuum line.

 

ok so i figured i just reconnect the hose but it seems like it's not long enough, and i don't know which nipple i put it on, the one facing down or the one facing the cabin. could someone please get on aim and walk me through it.. my aim is philovers15
