bah, the 5 minutes spent tightening it vs. getting some more hose to link the two together, and getting jb weld to seal it off, then letting it cure and such = way easier just to tighten the thing.

jb weld is forever. 5 mins spent on tightening will eventually get loose.

I forgot what the FITV helps with (warm or cold idle), but Honda wouldnt put it on for nothing. I'd rather keep it if I could.
