Not sure how it happened but while installing my S&B intake I damaged the plastic connector going to what I believe is the EGR valve/solenoid. Only reason I say that is cause I got a check engine light pertaining to the EGR. Pushed the connector back on and wrapped tightly with electrical tape and snugged her up with a zip tie. All good now, no code. But with that being said, would anyone know where to locate OEM style connectors without having to purchase a complete harness?

I did the exact same thing! I’ve been trying to find a connector with no luck. I am going to try electrical tape and a zip like you did to try and clear the code.
I ordered these plugs, pretty sure this is the style. Will let you know!

Great connectors to keep if you add accessories i love them just be sure to buy the proper barrel crimper…They look close, I wasn't going to tear everything off till I had something in hand. Will get a better look at the connectors this weekend.
The good thing is I ordered form Amazon so easy returns

You can remove the pins with the proper tool. Should be able to find one on Amazon.
There is a small red retaining clip that you have to slide out. From there they pull out pretty easy. Some were stubborn but a small flat head or pick is all you need to pop them out.
So find out that I didn’t break the connector. The S&B air box makes contact with the connector. While driving it rubs until it breaks the plastic. I had to order another connector. Sent an email to S&B, no adjustments can be made since the box mounts into 3 pins using the provided grommets. This is a manufacture defect. If the holes were drilled a little bit to the right inside the box it would shift the air box to the left giving the proper clearance. For now I am back to the electrical tape, zip tie, and factory air box.
