Thread: stupid question, dont mind me.(CAI question)

Hello everyone. I bought an intake from chrome airintakes.com for my 04 Gp. Ive seen other intakes on some of the other members cars here and notice a small second airfilter. Now im alittle behind on the times so I always remeber using that as an engine breather. But I have no idea where it goes now on the car. My kit came with that small filter. Any help would be definetly appreciated.

Thanks

if your talking about the breather, that goes in place of your oil cap

Why would an intake company send anything that had to do with your oil cap?

Yes, 04 has a vacuum hose that comes off the intake and goes to a vac line toward the top of the intake.

My opinion, ditch the breather and add a vac line back to your new intake, because it is doing nothing but creating a vacuum leak. What I am doing with mine is I am going to use the stock fitting that goes into the intake. I am going to drill a hole in the new intake and place a rubber grommet that the stock piece fits snuggly onto. I will then use a longer piece of vac line and slide it over the stock piece and go over to where the stock vac line connects.

I am using the longer line because of my orientation of the intake will move the vac line out to where the stock line will no longer reach.

I just installed mine on my 04 don't use a breather filter just attach the vac line from the intake to ur New one it ill post a pic

Oh I did that, theres a fitting on the intake tube for the vac line that goes to the intake manifold. I used pieces from the stock vac line. I dont remember which member but I saw a breather setup where the filter was attached to a hose that went down somewhere behind the crosspipe for the headers. I looked on my car and saw a hole on the engine behind the crosspipe. It doesnt look like anything but thats why I ask to be sure.
