Long story short, I installed the Roush CAI from CJPonyParts.com exactly as their video instructed. The installation was fairly easy. After installation, the truck now has a check engine light. I plan to remove the CAI, send it back, and go back to stock.

During installation, I broke one of the plastic pieces on the inside of one of the hoses as I removed it. I need to order another one but don't know what it's called. I think the function of the piece is to "spin the air." Can you guys help me figure out what this piece is called so I can order one? And, while we're at it, where can I order it from?

Thanks in advance.

 

A pic might help. Could it be called a baffle or an intake silencer?

 

Those are supposedly for noise attenuation. Don't bother fixing. Some people have ripped them completely out and not had problems.

 

I was able to find this pic off the internet (I didn't take any while I was at home) using the terms you guys have provided, but still can't find the part. I'll put everything back to stock without them and see where I am.

 

Air diffuser or air silencer, it's part of the intake/inlet tube, I don't believe that it's sold separately, You might want to stop by your local dealership to verify.
