Mine is missing and was debating on order a new one, but for $30+ bucks, seems expensive for a 2 ft piece of cheap plastic.

It depends on who you talk to, but I think that most people will tell you no. I'm going to say no, heck, I run a round k&n air filter and nothing more.

I agree, no you don't need it, but it will get the carb fresh cool air instead of hot under hood air.

Ok thanks... Just trying to rule everything else out that's possibly the culprit on why it randomly dies when coming to a stop sometimes. If I find one cheap ill pick it up, otherwise ill just wait.

I used the intake tube along with the heat riser on the exhaust manifold and it ran so much better, and it never overheated. Carbs like a stable intake air temp.
