    My dad told me not to, he said it was for condensation and if I sealed them I could suck condensation into the engine which isn't good...

    :hmm: Ford has holes in an intake tube for condensation?

    My factory intake never had weep holes, nor does my CAI. I suppose, but sounds wonky to me.

    Same stuff you did!
    Silicone and the sink stoppers, except I had to use a 1-5/8, 1-1/4 and a 1 inch, for some reason mine didn't have two the same size, but I sealed them with silicone and painted and it worked!
    Total time was like 3 hours but that includes trimming the left over plastic(I'm a perfectionist) and going to ace hardware to get different size plugs.
