i saw this pic and was wonderin what it exactly does b/c i ordered an intake and i saw this at advance auto parts and might do it now. is you do it, how and wht should you plug up the hole on the intake?

 

Ya. Im interested too. When you unplug that little hose from it, engine runs slower.
What is it for??

 

i'm sure all hoses are too be pluged before driving otherwise could lead to check engine light or other possible disasters. seems like that guy used some kinda rubber thingy to plug it up.

 

breather filter. put the hose back on it. you dont need that on there. you will loose vaccum.

 

yea i tried it once - not worth it - its nto hard to plug up the hole but because of how free that lil filter is and how it really doesnt fit perfect it makes the car idle a lil wierd and and sometimes even seems like it will stall - dont bother doing it - just my opinion

 

the hose that originally goes there is i think the breather hose. by taking it off and just putting a filter on the end of your engine, you get the junk out and it doesnt go back into the intake (i think). by not plugging up the hole on the intake, it could suck up something that could damage the engine, because that hole is after the filter. the engine is also slower because more air is comming in than the ECU knows about.

 

wow thanks a lot, i will make note to self about that when installin my intake

 

"A breather filter relieves your engine of positive crankcase pressure and recycled carbon vapors from your engine, which cause loss of throttle response due to build-up on the throttle body. The Dragon Breather from weapon r, helps resolve that problem, by venting the vapors into the atmosphere."

i just saw read this from somewhere but sounds like bs to me.

 

^^ i believe thats true. but you dont need a special weapon r filter, any filter of that size will work.

 

Every other aftermarket intake out there is bs IMHO. Just my 2 cent. You'll only see gains from an intake if you combine it with y-pipe/b-pipe. Increasing intake flow will do not good if you don't open up the exhaust accordingly.

 

yes i no, i'm gonna get a ypipe soon hopefully and i think i have a custom b-pipe cause i had to get it replaced a while ago. what does imho stand for, can't figure it out.

 

i tried putting that filter and i put like 2 clamps very tight fit and i get low idle / stall . it means in my humble opinion?
