[16v] anyone have this on their car?



Nope, I was just curious if they actually came on production cars or if
they were somethin' special.

Like I said I've never seen one (even in a junkyard) so I just wanted to
know if they had a purpose or not. They must be in the same category as
the "exhaust preheat hose" or something. People take them off when they do
the first oil change and the car never sees one again ;P
