View Full Version : what is the little hole in the "air ram"?

When taking out my silencer, I took off the air ram piece and noticed a small hole on the side towards the airbox, about a half inch big. What the heck is the purpose of this? It almost looks like where a temp. sensor would go. Nothing fell out of mine did it? I was thinking I should tape it up since it could only be letting air escape from being funneled in.
Thanks,
Jeff C.

There shouldn't be anything there that I know of. It is probably there to let debris or water out in case it gets up there. Don't worry about it.

I haven't seen that hole, but I would suspect that it's to drain water off. There's also a hole in the silencer (to which the ram feeds). The hole in the silencer IS to drain water.

Interesting idea...probably right. You'd think they'd make that hole on teh bottom though...
