So I was intalling the Injen Short Ram Intake on my EX-L when I noticed something odd wedged between the stock intake and the front of the engine bay...
This wasn't connected to anything...but it had a website on it.
Nitto-Kohki is an industrial supplier. This coupling has a pneumatic quick disconnect.
Spoke to the dealer and they had no clue and said it wasn't from their shop. I've only ever had it serviced there (3 oil changes) from the day I drove it off the lot.
From what we can tell this seems to be an Engine Leak Check Coupling from the manufacturing floor!
It must have gotten left behind after engine assembly and testing. So I guess I'm holding a part of Honda's quality control? I'm an engineer and have been on many shop floors in my experience and this looks like something I'd find on the job.
Checked the VIN and my car was manufactured at the Indiana plant. I'm sure Honda would like to know of any "anomolies" in their manufacturing process, so I'm trying to figure out how to let them know.
