I like to just run a hose to the intake like it come stock but some people dont like the hose so they slap one on to make the engine bay look cleaner thats why you will see them on cars with wire tucks. They are also good if you have a aftermarket intake without the spot to hook the hose up to.Last edited by thepowderblue; 06-27-2011, 07:41 AM. -
yeah i got my hose going to the intake pipe rigth now but i was just wondering what this filter is for or does it do nothing really and its more for show?Comment

All it will do is get rid of the hose, but then you will have a hole in your intake tube.
they are made for people to use with intake tubes missing the port or for people that dont like the little hose.
If you are thinking it might some how add power it wont.Comment

lol yeah i already knew there was no real power gain but wat about effiency or anything positive from it? well i bougth one and i think ima put it on for now for no real reason. im thinking im just guna cap off the niple that comes out of my intake pipe but then im not sure what to do with the metal hard line thats in between the hose. wut u think? cap both ends of the hard line or just leave it alone with no hoses at each end after i remove them?Comment

Well if it looks good and you like it then rock it!Comment

yeah i want to and i though installing it was gone be easy but idk what to do with that metal hard line that used to be in the middle of the intake to valve cover hose. can it be just left alone with no issues or would capping them off workComment

Take it off. You will need to get a longer peace of hose to bypass it. I bypassed it on my car. Want pix?Comment

the breather filter is for those who don`t want oil damp/steam in the intake to sludge it up...Comment

It gets sucked up anyway threw the pcv valve.Comment

These lil breather filter aren't much.When i got my current CB it had one an leaked throwing oil out.That shit had to go i have to keep my engine bay different,clean, an leak free just one of my pet pevs.I don't think they even look good.If your concerned with oil in the intake pipe get a long enough peice of hose an tuck it down along side the block, but your going get oil in the intake mani anyway thru the PCV like already stated above.
