Vacuum line location?

Installing the valvetronic hardware/wiring for my new exhaust. Could anyone possibly post a picture of a good vacuum line to tap into? Not sure what I'm looking for exactly. And as for tapping into this, can I just cut it, and insert a t-valve in between the hoses?

Even better would be anyone with an AgencyPower exhaust that could post some clear photos of where/how the vacuum line and such were installed. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

Again, no one has ANY info that might be helpful? I'm kind of shocked that the last two posts I've made regarding this exhaust install have gone unanswered. I know other members here have agency power exhausts. I know SOMEONE has to know where a vacuum line is on our cars

Did you get the email I sent you? The pictures should show where the vacuum line we use is located

I did, but those pictures don't really show very well exactly what hose it's connected to, just where the vacuum line routes through the cars.

True, that doesn't help much. My tech is telling me he t'd into the line for the Evap system that is in that location.

When you're talking to a non-mechanic that information still doesn't help much, haha. I was able to figure out which one to tap into though. Taking plenty of pics right now to create an install guide

at the bottom right of the red circle, do you see the solenoid valve? this is the purge valve. tap into it between the motor and the valve (you should see an arrow on the valve that points to the engine and says "mot" or "motor". This is the side you want. If you t- into the other side it'll be on the fuel tank side which will probably cause all sorts of b.s. purge leak evap codes and have your exhaust not working correctly.

So far so good! Finished up running all the hoses/wires this evening. Everything seems to be working perfectly

Bringing this back from the dead. There isn't much content on this subject. Any chance Vivid could post that picture here? Not much in the way of how to install this exhaust and AP's install doc is without pictures.
