I naturally plug the hole with a rubber slightly tapered plug that would adhere better to the rubber of the inlet hose. @Ultramaroon helped me fasten.

HOWEVER.... Today on my way home from getting dinner with my gf, I gave it WOT around a corner and got a check engine light and the car went into limp mode. I pulled over and plugged my tablet into the OBD2 port to see what as up.
It was throwing primarily this code: P2109 code. Dealing with the throttle body.
I ended up taking off my inlet hose and this is what I find....... LOL FUCK ME






This piece that I was using to be a stopper for one of the resonator spots had been sucked into the inlet hose, however, it was JUST big enough to not be sucked into the engine unless I was giving it 100% throttle, at which point it got wedged.... scared me shitless lol

Nothing else to this post, just sharing my horror story and the good that came of it!
Least it wasnt a sock or cloth like on the Honda forums.
