If you plug the brown one, the other one won't be needed at all. The way it works is - vacum from the brown line sucks on the doodah in the bottom of the airbox (It's actually a temperature controlled switch) and may or may not pass to the other pipe connected to it, depending on the air temp. If it does allow vacuum through, then it passes to the disc-shaped thing on the front of the intake near the flexi pipe (the end of the other tiny pipe). The disc shaped thing is a vacuum actuator to swap between hot and cold air coming into the engine. If you fit a K&N or any other type of induction kit, you have no need for the hot/cold air selector as it won't be passing air to anything.

Soooo, bung the brown one if you take the airbox out.

so should i buy a K&N 57i kit for my Cinquecento Sx as i need a new air filter but there is no point buying an airfilter if a 57i is any good

if its an 899cc engine, i had one on my old sx. the kit utilises the induction pipe from the throttle body to the airbox and all you need to do is remove the airbox casing (instructions included with kit) to fit the 57i. The kit itself is fantastic and cheap! i paid £43 for mine 2 years ago and it was the best buy. It makes the car sound meaty and it turns a few heads!

Is adrenaline brown?
