Well i got a breather for my valve cover so i no longer need the little hose that runs fromt he intake to the valve cover but how do i plug this hole. shoul di just get another breather for it? I dotn want dirt and such going in. heres the hole i mean

A.) why did you get that breather...?

B.) if you - for whatever reason - want to keep the gay breather, go ahead and take the tube that was on the intake, cut it, put a bolt in it and hose clamp or ziptie it in there. You could also look for a vacuum cap of the proper size, but it won't be simple to find one. A rubber stopper would be the ultimate solution.

i think ive seen people with a plug that covers that hole but wanted to make sure or if i should just buy another valve breather for the intake or what.

Hatch'd

the breather will not do anything for intake so i would just plug it with somthing to try and not draw more attencion to the intake than is needed

central_driver

but what to plug it with. i no a breather wont do anything im just worried about the dirt and such going into the engine like that. i sware i have seen people with rubber plugs that fit perfect on the aem intakes but if i cant find that or am wrong about it. how would i plug it. best thing?


btw can someone also tell me how to get rid of that hose right next to the breather that connects to nothing...

Just curious, does that breather actually do anything?

you can run down to pepboys or whatever and find a vacuum nipple assortment. theres bound to be one that fits.
the other hose is a coolant hose you can remove the factory on and use a straight piece between the 2

get another breater and put it on the intake

go to pepboys or advance auto, get a vacuum cap and put it on, i don't know what that guy was talking about but when i used to do preformance work i had a ******* drawer full of them i got from advance auto

two words...duct tape

whatever you do, dont do what I did and wrap 33 black tape around the hole. THE INTAKE SUCKED IT IN. vacuum plug, or a rubber hose w/ a bolt a clamp can do. why'd you buy a breather anyway?

my aem intake came with both a hose and rubber plug to cover the hole up. i used the hose to connect the intake to the valve cover and tossed the plug

Nope. Worthless. Put the hose back on... It helps to vent pressure in the engine by vaccum. You might get crap all over your engine bay with that breather on too.

One word... GHETTO. Seriously. Get a piece of hose and two clamps for about 3$ at autozone/pep boys/whatever, and put it on the way it was intended.

Get rid of the breather and connect the two

second. just use a hose, it uses vacuum to relieve the pressure in the motor.

central_driver

alright i just put the hose back on. so now both ends are connected but what could i use the breather for now, anything else?

sicky

My intake came with little caps that go on those. You can get caps at any hardware store that would do the trick.

teknoracing

PUt it the way it was intended. Pay attention to the way your car idles when you have it hooked up right and the way it was with the breather

Breathers are a No-no.

GarageAlchemist

goto autozone.. point your figer at your intake(wait for them to laugh at you) then buy the 3$ cap.
