Am I right that even on his dyno it shows power loss under 3k? I don't drive my cars at over 4k rpm!

Knowing that this is an issue, should one just proactively put some JBWeld or even super glue in the seam around the cap?@Cl1ckst3r
Yes that is the part. Hold up to a good light and check for gaps. Mine started with a gap and then within a couple hundred mikes the “cap“ area failed.
K&N has been very easy to work with. Panda has also been responsive.
Emailed K&N that evening, and the next morning got a reply from K&N letting me know the replacement will be shipped but no tracking on the replacement part.
Update - got the replacement tee on Saturday (same tee design) so I used hi-temperature tape to wrap around it and it is working now. Emailed K&N Wednesday night and got the part on Saturday afternoon (3-day, pretty good response time).
We have a new ejector tee coming to us from K&N. I am thinking that we should pretreat it also.Knowing that this is an issue, should one just proactively put some JBWeld or even super glue in the seam around the cap?
I don't notice any power loss on the low end.Am I right that even on his dyno it shows power loss under 3k? I don't drive my cars at over 4k rpm!
So.... did you guys fix the elbow issue?How much power does a K&N Intake actually gain on your Ford Bronco??
We sent Cameron Alford one to install and put it on the dyno and find out just how much it would gain! WARNING The results may shock you!
Actually, after further inspection. You might be on to something. He quickly scans past the early part of the dyno and there is some HP and TQ drop before 2400 RPM, the line matches at 2600RPM to 3600RPM then the gains come in. I was able to get a screen shoot....I don't notice any power loss on the low end.
Cameron Alfred's YouTube () shows more TQ and HP from 3600RPM to Redline and pretty much matches the stock curve below 3600.
K&N should probably post a new dyno chart......
I am so glad I stumbled across this image! I had picked up a random plastic piece that had fallen to my garage floor while performing an oil change this past week. Decide to keep it till I figured out where it came from. Saw this posting and rushed out to the garage to confirm. Check!! It must had fallen/blown off and came to rest on top of the belly skid plate.I had the check engine light come on after a couple of hundred miles of driving with this K&N intake... Thanks to this thread and the person that pointed out the vent ejector tee. I just checked mine and found it got a chunk missing from it. I will try calling K&N tomorrow to get a replacement. However, reliability could be an issue unless they have improved that design already.

Yes, it is working fine. No issues after replaced with the new one + wrapped it with hi-temp tape.So did the new one hold up?
We got the engine warning only a few days after installing the intake. Saw other posts about the ejector tee, sure enough, our's had a hole. Called K&N, sending out 2 extras just in case. I hope our's gets here as quick as your's.
Yep... broke the white clip last night getting the EVAP hose off. I guess zip ties will hold it on for now.Second, every hose and electrical disconnect is different. I don't know if it was me but step 11 was pain in the a$$ to disconnect.
