So I am looking to getting the AEM Brute Force Intake & have read of some of you guys having to do something with coolant in the process of the install. This totally confuses me? Anyone want to explain where coolant is related to air intake?

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but on my old Honda Civic, there were coolant lines going in and out of the throttle body. The anti-freeze in the coolant kept the throttle body from freezing in sub-zero temperatures.

i thought vacuum lines goes in the out of the throttle body? there are certain lubricants people can use to prevent the throttle from freezing up.

Don't worry about it, it's an easy install. This link explains the coolant:
