Redfox340 Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 First off welcome aboard! The tube that goes to you intake tubing to the valve cover is for emission / econ purposes. You can find a valve cover breather element to replace the hose but it's won't help in performance. As for air filters, I believe (or at I think) that almosy everyone is going to recommend K&N Filters. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfahn Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 :withstupid: K&N filters are the only way to go, worth the extra bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomFE3 Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 yep k&n's are the most popular, dont buy an intake from RSM, they rip you off, just make your own, like i did, the people told me it didnt work and it would melt, they are wrong, i used 3 inch pvc, most of the pvc you see is like 1/8 inch thick, i got a hold of some 1/4 thick stuff and that works really well, but i do have a heat sheild on it, i can get you pics of my intake if you wont, its home made, it doesnt look the sweetest, but it works for me!

timbit_69 Posted June 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 but it,s not going to anything !!!! it looks like a oversized soupcan that is under the tube joining the air box to the Throttle body it has nothing going to it (except to the tubing of the intake) there are no lines going into it or out of it. It is connected and it is hollow. It looks like it would restrict air flow by creating turbulance ing the intake tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91GranSport Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Hey dude, don't worry about other people telling you shit. If you like it, then that's good. If it fucks up, then that's your fault and you live and learn. Right? BTW: Yeah, RSM is a fucking rip-off eh? yep k&n's are the most popular, dont buy an intake from RSM, they rip you off, just make your own, like i did, the people told me it didnt work and it would melt, they are wrong, i used 3 inch pvc, most of the pvc you see is like 1/8 inch thick, i got a hold of some 1/4 thick stuff and that works really well, but i do have a heat sheild on it, i can get you pics of my intake if you wont, its home made, it doesnt look the sweetest, but it works for me!

I dont know what it does, but I think its something for the A/C. Even if its not, theres nothing down there that is going to restrict your air flow.
