hey guys ive been searching for quite some time now but i cant seem to find what im looking for. Recently i looked at the bolt that connects the intake tube to the intake manifold and realized that the previous owner broke that bolt off and part of it is stuck in there so i need to buy a new bolt to hold the intake tube to it. since i have not seen the original bolt i was wondering if anyone can tell me what size it is so i can buy a new one to replace it? The intake is a k&n typhoon if that even matters.

 

Somebodys gotta know the answer to this question ha

 

seriously?

 

Not sure what bolt you're referring to... The intake tube connects to the throttle body, not the intake plenum (or manifold). The throttle body connects to the upper plenum with four allen head bolts.

When I look at pictures of the K&N typhoon I see the metal intake tube connects to the throttle body with a silicone coupler and two hose clamps, no bolts required. So what bolt exactly do you mean?

 

yeah thats the part of the tube that connects to the throttle body, but there is this slim piece of metal that branches off of the larger part of the intake and a bolt secures it to the manifold to keep the intake pipe from moving around and keeps it secure. thats the bolt im trying to figure out the size of because as of now, the only things holding the intake tube on is the silicone coupler and two hose clamps so its flemsy

Couldn't find the size in the factory parts list, but here is the exact bolt you need:
