breather hose??

Does this hose connect to anything?
...I was under the hood the other day and noticed a hose that is connected to nothing. Is this normal?

Yes this is normal. This hose is a breather hose that points down and is not connected to anything. Have no fear.

The hose is located near the large breather hose on the front valve cover. It appears to connected to the transmission at the bottom. It is a hard rubber hose that has it's open, upper end molded to face downward.

I second that. There will be a thin hose that curves slightly downward that does not hook into anything. I don't know why there would be a difference w/ manual, but I have an auto, so I couldn't say for sure.

Justin, Apparently the 4th hole on the E-bay intake tubing is for Manual Transmission coolers. Automatic's do not have these, so I used a 3/8" plug from Checker Autoparts...

If you have any questions, call me on my cell.

Re: Re: breather hose??

what's up man?

i installed that upper pipe like you did.
i love the low end power i gained.
however, i now get this very loud sound. specially when i go up to 40mph.

sounds like a very loud wind conbustion.

i 'm going to put back that resonator and see if that is where the loud sound is comming from.


please advise?????
thanks,
