I tried to look through Kleen air removal instructions several times and don't really understand some of the steps.......so here is my question....what all involved and aside from getting rid of backfire (not really backfire) sound and gain very little to none HP and clean out some of the hoses on the top of the engine....what else should I get out of :headscratch:

Removing the Clean Air System.
(1-3 hp)
1) Look above the cam cover and you will see a large valve with 3 large and 1 small hose going to it. Remove that valve assy. Its just held in by the hoses so tug it out of there. But leave the elbows going into the cam cover.
2) Plug the small vacuum line that goes to the throttle body's that used to go to the valve.
3) Take a 3" or so piece of 3/8" fuel line and use it to connect the two elbows on the cam cover. Make them point towards each other.
4) Buy or make a beveled plug out of wood to plug the hole going into the airbox/frame where one of the large hoses went. Make sure it cant push all the way through into the airbox. This is very important. You don’t want anything going into the airbox and getting caught in the throttle bodies!! When you have tested the plug so you know it fits good and tight, with out being able to push through into the airbox/frame then put a small amount of rubber cement around it to make sure it stays put. Remember it should not be able to fit all the way through anyway!! The only thing that can happen then, is it falls out. That’s what the glue will stop. Now read this part #4 again!
