Does anyone have any pics for this? I just bought one used off of someone and can't figure out what a little plastic square piece is for. It got broke during shipping I suppose, and I have no idea if I am going to need it.

little plastic square piece? There shouldn't be any plastic pieces with a C&L plenum.

It looks like this...



Its all cast aluminum

I bought this plenum used. It came in the original box with the four filters, silver square plastic piece, and two of the same gaskets just from different companies which the one from Ford looks used (may have been original). I know I have to use the gasket for the plenum to the blower and reuse the throttle body to plenum gasket, but I was wondering what to do with the filters and the plastic piece.

Thanks

got a pic of the fiters? They PCV crankcase filters or something? Nothing else really goes with the C&L plenum for the install. Its a direct swapout for stock, just slightly bigger volume.
