Question ► Exhaust Vacuum Hose Size

does anybody know the exhaust vacuum hose size?

will a 4.5mm metal BB or a 7/32” be sufficient for plugging it.

A golf tee will work in a pinch but if you're looking for the "correct" 1/8th barbed plug this is what we supply with our Resonated Muffler Bypass. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is this still the recommended peice for closing the vacuum lines. Also do you have to take the bumper off to install them? I just looked under my car and can’t seem to find the lines

When I had my prior AWE exhaust installed (by AWE at their facility) the vacuum line was plugged and then tucked back under the bumper via tie wraps of some sort. I'd check but I'm now back to the stock CP setup.

I had the same issue, you need to lay down under your diffuser with the top of your head facing front and your eyes looking up and then if you tilt your head up looking behind the bumper where the mufflers were you can take your hand and feel behind the bumper inside and there should be a little 1/8" vacuum line that is about 4-6" long.

Exactly, I just found mine... question for you... mine were never capped and I was driving on it for about 6 months and now I have an issue with the boost on my car and they talked about vacuum hoses and boost leaks... long story the hose was not capped and I will be capping it now, will or should I have already had an issue way back when, or perhaps there was an issue all along and I did not know....
