Hi all,
Yes, it IS part #3 in the realoem diagram there. When I loosened hose clamp and removed my MAF from resonator(part #4), that “gasket ring” was just sitting IN the resonator, just past the end of MAF lip, and right before the curve of res pipe. When I attempted to put it all back together, I was stumped at how and where it goes within the design fitment. It seems too small to “stretch” over MAF collar, and doesn’t seem like that all would even FIT within the collar of the resonator it connects to, if I could get it over collar of MAF. I have a pic of where it was sitting after MAF removal, so I’ll try to figure out how to post it.


Steve
