JoshV70 Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 It's for the air pump hose when you remove the stock intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550 Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 yeah, it is a breather filter... I would say it is needed if you like your air pump. Atleast thats what I have been told. I don't have one on mine but monkey it any ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have one on mine but monkey it any ways.Same here don't have one on mine but does the breather filter help reduce a clogged PCV system? Just curious which of the 3 methods in the VS writeup you used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolvoWill Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Ive heard that on hondas if you do not have that hooked up. It could cause too much pressure in the head or something like that. I dont really know if all that is true though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Isn't that for cars w/o a PCV system so as to filter the air coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
