air breather
#7
I've seen them at autozone or advanced auto parts.
their like 15bucks though....only 3 bucks more than a new PCV valve, I would totally get one if I wasn't on a life budget right now...

yep, autozone, then you cut the stock hose, and you will have to trim the tip of the rubber entry on the breather itself to fit into the hose end
so it will be
valve cover >2 inch of oem hose <breather
hope you understand

You should read up on how the PCV system actually works.
Your ideas don't make much sense. The breather tube allows air INTO the valve cover, not the other way. It is called a POSITIVE crankcase ventilation. Air is pulled into the valve cover and the air travels though the head down though the bottom end and pulls the oil/exhaust/fuel vapours out of the block (because piston rings dont ever make a perfect seal) and through the PCV valve and gets burned. By replacing the hose with a filter, the block is no longer pressurised by the intake and you are preventing the PCV from venting those vapours inside the motor and this will cause your oil to get contaminated much quicker and you will see increased engine wear. This mod will shorten the life of your motor.
In other words, if you don't understand how it works, leave it alone.

I didnt mean to sound like an _______ earlier I just dont want you guys wreckin your motors!
I know most people do the filter because it does look neater than having a hose but its just bad for your motor. But if you think it adds that extra little ooh and ahh for a show pop it on when the cars at the show then take it off after. Just dont drive around like that.

i did mine that way when i was boosted and didnt have a nipple to route the hose into the intake pipe...eventually i got a different intake pipe and put a catch can on it...
stock it is routed into the intake which would pull a vacuum on the head.
