Question C32 Y spliter

Hey guys, i broke the bottom clip on my C32 Y splitter when i was changing my Code3 intake filter. Does anyone know the part number for the splitter? When i order the spliter, does it comes with the rubber hose L+R?

Several seemed to have broken their clips while doing that install. Most ran it as is or use a metal clamp on it.
C32Used has a stock one for sale in the classifieds I believe. You can try and PM him.
Splinter could probably give you the part number off the top of his head.

A lot of people have done that too. And although not ideal, I think most people do without it.

I just bought a SL55 splitter from MB via parts.com; I ordered 3 parts originally and they called me to say it's sold as one piece.

How can you use a metal clamp? where do i clamp it? i afraid if i run it as it is, dirt or dust will get in the throttle body.

Or should i just buy the SL55 y splitter for the replacement?

Someone that's done it may chime in....

If you go with the SL splitter you won't be able to run the C3P intake you just installed which caused it to break in the first place. That would be a bit of a kick in the pants.

Apologies for omitting the air intake pipe (labeled '2' in the diagram) part # in this previous post.

The entire air intake pipe part # is 1120900129.
According to Mister Brenton's list, it is ~$65 (cost price) and $80 (dealer price).

SilverBulletAMG is right- the SL55 Y-splitter doesn't have a plate on the back of it so you can't use the C3P air intake.

Thanks for the info, but I don't see the part number for the 2 inch rubber hose. So if I order the y splitter, it comes with it?

The rubber hoses to the left and right of the splitter? I'm pretty sure the tubes are included with the intake.

white and whiter
the clips not really needed. the rubber seal between the TB and the T-pipe is secure enough. I even run my SL55 airbox setup like that.
