FYI, one of those plastic caps that plugs new air-tool's inlets works beautifully. Just pull out the grey elbow from the motor side, install plug, push back into firewall. Done! Thanks OP!

For some reason, 7/8 plug was too small for me. I ended up using an 1" plug with a rubber o-ring. It clicked in and is sealed up real good.

When paying for my car I encountered this pearl of wisdom in regards to some comments I made:
finance guy: "where did you learn that?" fistpoint: "the internet" finance guy: "1.6% of what you read on the internet is true" fistpoint: "lol, enjoy your AOL", and "don't go to quilting/sewing websites for news or car repair info then" . . . Long live the internet! Halfway through this thread I ran out and bought the exact piece the OP suggested from Lowes. Followed the pics and installed in seconds. Thanks. |

Well I'd like to thank all the guys that looked into this and found a solution. I've always had this nagging thought that the car just sounded off. The engine noise was just... odd.
Stopped by Lowe's, grabbed the 7/8 plug, popped it in right there in the parking lot. Fit is perfect, like it was made for it. Sound is 100% better. The car now sounds real to me and you just hear the engine noise coming from the actual engine under the hood. Again, thanks guys for such a simple and easily solution! |

I grabbed about 5 of them a few days ago to stock up. If I see anybody locally needing them, I will pass them out. This mod is totally worth it.
