Hahn intake question
Hahn intake question
Okay i have a really stupid question im in the middle, well basically finished with my intake but cant seem to figure out the right way to attach the braided stainless steel line, maybe the recirculator, not sure? idk any input?
I have a silver nipple that threads on and theres just a straight tube, nothing to "snap" on to theres not any raised spots
Has any one bought one of hahn's intakes recently?

Take a picture of what your problem is. I am not sure which part is broken but it sounds like one of the pieces is broken.
The braided line should push onto a "nipple" on the Hahn intake...
This is basically what I am working with, it just like a compression female fitting...Idk but it didn't look like anything on any of hahn's intake. I thought maybe he changed it but the braided line just kinda slides on it and sits there, theres nothing to clip on to. sorry for not having any pics earlier.

that looks alil different from mine, mine has a small lip that the pcv hose clips onto and the powercoat covers up past the nut up until about 1in shy of the end of the small pipe, soo, i dunno what happend to with yours. call or email hahn, theve always been great with me.

Yeah, that don't seem right. But for now you can cap that off with a vac cap. The line is just pcv, don't know about capping that as its a bad idea, just some oil leakage. See about getting your intake right, or put the stocker for now. But that line being off won't affect anything in the time being, just cap the intake side.

What you see there is our new style attachment for the breather hose. We made an improvement here by using a -6 ("dash-six", or 3/8 inch) stainless steel flare welded to the CoolRam tube. The stainless tube sction we provide then threads onto the flare. The earlier design used a one-piece tube assembly welded into the CoolRam.
This new configuration does not incorporate a retention bead, but none is needed, as the rigidity of the stainelss braided hose is adequate to retain its position on the fitting.
Why is this better? More versatility for future fun. For those who would like to add their own breather lines, or relocate the air intake, or add a larger turbo, this -6 flare is a universal hookup. Earls and Aeroquip hoses connect directly, as will any -6 JIC (industrial) connection.
Versatility!

The nipple seems like its long enough and fits down the braided line far enough that it won't come out, but if there was a retention bead i would feel a little better. Kinda defeats the purpose of the nice big K&N at the bottom if it slips off.

If it moves it can leak. If it leaks you will have issues because unmetered air is getting sucked in after the MAF. That will cause your fuel trims to go to crap ( and your gas mileage) and the engine will run like crap. Make sure it fits tight and does not come off.

there is 2 simple salutions to this moving porblem, weld a little nipple on, or the easy cheaper way, electrical tape, it works wonders, and it wont look to bad.
