agreed with that. i had a a breather filter over the bigger hose that goes into the resonator box from the fire wall side (I think that's the IAC) but my car wouldn't hold idle. so we plugged that up. i still have a breather filter over the house that is on the other side. makes this weird sucking sound. anyways, i have OBX since they are chrome and match my intake

You can put one on the valve cover, but you need to plug up the one that goes into the intake piping.

You can't put beather filter anywhere on the intake piping. The MAF can't account for the air, that's why your car wouldn't idle.

Re: Re: intake hoses vs. breather filters
if properly used breather filters will keep the oily buildup included in pistion blow-by from being deposited into your intake manifold and "gooking" it up after it leaves the heads... is this helpful?? I'd say yes, but performance increase not really, it will kepp you intake clean though...but the oily buildup will collect on your engine parts!
after I cleaned my intake manifolds 3 weeks ago I installed 2- 1 pint catch can/breathers, one attached to each PCV outlet on both heads and plugged up my PCV valve hole and the PCV hole on my intake....this way no more oily buildup in the intake and no oily mess under the hood...it not smog legal though since I bascially eliminated my intake/PCV system! quick easy mod, plus the catch cans look cool when I pop the hood!

well if you have an hks intake you can do this. basically run the front bank and rear bank breather hoses into a "T" fitting and run the T into an extra hole on the intake piping itself. this gets rid of the intake resanator and gives it a deeper growl.
