You would want to measure it with calipers and buy the grommet that matches that size. Or you could measure the hole it came out of. I assume you are replacing the stock air box?? Of course you want to use a rubber silicone grommet to prevent leaks and make a nice tight seal.

does anyone know if the new style IATS is interchangeable with the older cars? the newer one is much more compact. i would drill a hole w/ a Unibit/step bit and plug the rubber PCV grommet from the parts store in the pipe and plug the IATS in the grommet. i will look a the number on my grommet when i get home. i have a handfull left from when i built intakes.

Pretty sure i used "Help/Dorman" brand PCV grommet number 42316. worked well cause the rubber would expand on both sides of the hole so it would make a nice seal, just make sure not to over drill the hole or will not seal up maybe even fall out.
