If you've deleted the AIR system, that hose should not even be there anymore. Just pull it out.

If the AIR system is deleted, then that hose can all be removed...it's starts way in the back and snakes it's way to the front...you can remove it all and you won't need the K/N breather any longer.

Yea, I just threw away the breather filter. Not needed if you delete the AIR system and the hose. Oh, by the way, you will need to have the codes deleted with LS1Edit if you pull the pump also.

And, thanks for the compliments on the FRCs!!

Or if you still have AIR, you could follow the hose,
pull it out, cut it off where the end will be up over
the engine and put the breather / filter back on
and retuck it out of sight.

ur still gonna have the hood release line running down that side, unless u drill a nearby existing hole larger and re-route it much the same as the !wire mod. i did it and it was a piece of cake, no wires or anything on either side for me.

i tucked mine under the fuses and then ran in under the master cylinder against the fender so that you can't see it unless your say looking at the steering shaft.

Do you have a pic of that. I may do that with my hood release too.

Thanks
