Default $15 Mod

So I stopped by AutoZone this weekend and picked up an air filter for the crankcase cooling line.

Now its independent from the cold-air intake (no gasses going in from the crankase to contaminate the fresh air)

Plus its looks pretty sick

In the pictures you can see the hose still attached to the CAI but i removed it and replaced it with a cap.

Thats not very environmentally friendly

Jk, I have one on mine too. The throttle body stays perfectly clean now; not full or oil/blow by.

thanks for thinking about my scoop...? for you, my truck has a breather hose from each valve cover, going to a tee then to the intake....does yours too? did you just run 2 into 1 or did you put one of those breather filters on each side????

You are correct. There are 2 breathing hoses, one on each side.
I've only done the passenger side so far( the one that connects to the intake pipe), the one on the drivers side is bit more crowded and im going to get a smaller filter for that one.

I don't understand why people want to reduce the life expectancy of their engine, by adding these pointless filters, that really don't reduce potential power at all.

I believe attaching the crankcase intake/exhaust outlets to the trucks intake its a way to reduce emissions rather than do any good to the engines performance. The same way a stock air intake is designed to reduce noise while sacrificing engine performance.

But I could be wrong. Either way I doubt my engines life expectancy was crippled over this mod.
