those little thingy that kinda looks like an air filter?
yeah...I dunno much about it....
also, there were a tube that connects from the air intake
to a port near the fuel filter....the tube size is similar to the one that connects to the engine
I pull that one that is close the fuel filter out
and my car wont stay running.
put it back in and it is fine
what are those tubes connect to?
I mean they just deliver air(maybe)...but to where....
anyway we can increase performance tweaking those
anyhow...
just some random thoughts and me being curious
thanks

No, we don't have a breather filter. The breather tube itself is connected to the driver's side of the front valve cover. A ~3/4" hose routes over to the intake...to the upper CAI piece, or the square resonator box if you have the Stillen/JWT/stock intake.

we have a breather filter to the right of the front spark plug block. there's a hose that goes from that worthless box to it. u have to cap off the port on the box though. i have one on mine.

do you think this idea will work?

the worthless box you mentioned is the box right after the intake correct?
so there is a pipe connecting that box with the engine block that has the spark plug cover.
the breather is on the block...
how much air does it need?
alot? or little?
reason I ask is because if the demand of air on that part is high, then installing a breather filter would be better than having to suck air through the intake....
maybe worth something...well maybe something tiny...
just wondering...
I have a K&N element sitting around...what if i use that for the breather?
=D
yeah..it is big...5 inch dia meter with a 2 5/16 clamp base
hehehehehe...
