It apparently doesn't seal well between the 2 pieces after some use and vibration - letting air into the system.

    The Purolator unit from Pep Boys is one piece.

    You can also get a new battery (if you need one, I suggest an Optima red) from Pep Boys. Also, you can find trim-to-fit mudflaps there.

    Also stock up on degreaser and 'carb' cleaner. It'll make routine maintenance a lot easier if you keep your engine compartment clean.
