I have a M9 housing and it has a hole tapped for a vent and a barbed fitting came with it but i'm not crazy about the look of that and a rubber hose anyone come up with something that looked better?

 

Its easy to find an NPT to AN adaptor and run a stainless steel braided line.

Ran a 90 degree instead of the one supplied and ran a rubber hose up through the cross support over the diff,,,,,everyone will ask...where does that hose go?

 

What goes on the other end if i were to go braided?

 

Nothing, its a vent

If the supplied barb clears, whats it matter what it looks like? Do people routinely inspect your rearend?

 

This is a show and go build so i care what it looks like and there is no plain rubber hoses on this car! and i surely will not leave the end wide open even stock vents have some sort of breather tip inserted in the hose just looking for something decent looking.

 

Make sure whatever you do, you keep an open vent or you will start pushing fluid past the wheel bearings.

 

I need to find some sort of AN vent to go into the SS line instead of leaving a raw end open anyone seen something like that?

 

Get crazy and put a K&N valve cover vent on the an line.

 

I use sintered bronze filters. They look good and can be had with NPT or AN straight threads.

 

Has to be bigger than the dime sized SI or it will not flow enough to keep the rear from pressurizing.

 

Works fine for me....the filters can be had in different configurations that allow alot more surface area than what you are thinking.

 

I found so threaded polished vents from Summit i think they will do the trick!

The one we tried was a tight mesh bronze. Wound up drilling a 1/8" hole in it to get enough airflow to keep the pressure down. I'm sure they make different styles with different void ratios that should work.

 

I used the stock one out of the 10 bolt.
