A Picture
Here is a picture of the plug. You can see the top of the plug in this picture. You need to reach around behind the left-hand intake snorkel. Push the wire clip in, and pull the plug out.

i removed the vacuum hose on my 997 s a nd it sounded good for about 2000 miles and then the left muffler blew out and it sounded like a honda fart can. had it fixed under warranty ( waited 3 months for muffler ) stupid me did it again and now the right muffler sounds like a honda fart can ....dont do this mod

I would not disconnect the vacuum hose - that will just cause a vacuum leak, unless you plug it. I've driven my car for over 3000 miles w/o problems or CELs.

wahtever the orange plug is in the picture above is what i disconnected. i think the valve needs that plug to hold it in place when closed or open. i have had 2 muffler failures. i dont think its a coincidence.
