I first tried with duct tape and then decided it sounded a little better.
I went with 2" and new hose, before I gave it away.
I now have Fabspeed for cool noise and cool looks.
No, with the orange cap mod you'll see no change in HP or Torque, but staying with what most "high performance" parts companies say:

TexSquirrel High Performance Bottle Cap Mod

Up to 10HP and 15 ft/lbs of Torque increase*

* Performance increase is not guaranteed. Results may vary. Not responsible for any damage caused by misuse.

Please don't order one from me!
Haha....that made my day. More cheap HP😂

$50.00 for the cap and elbow...And Fabspeed sells the same thing for over $200.00 last I saw.

I had a fabspeed one but sold it - literally a generic red silicone hose and a "carbon fibre look" block off that you remove the box and replace it with the part.

I think I still have 2 of those magic caps laying around somewhere...
I ordered a sample (of 2 pcs) and one of the members here sent me one.
Hey, I’ll gladly take one of those caps of your hands please.

The SAMCO one is the most complete kit out there IMO and has the breather hose built in for X51 and automatics.
