Can I delete this all together? Or is it possible to route this into a catch can, but where to plug the catch can into the intake?

I have a little air filter on that hose to help vent crank case pressure.

Just cap it and put a breather in place of your oil fill cap.

Wow, thats some good advice, lets not let an air into the PCV system. Where do people come up with this stuff.

lol.. capping it off deletes the PCV system, and putting the breather on the filler neck takes the place of releasing the pressure.

nothing wrong with what he said, its all opinion. I for one, still have my pcv

pcv vs. breather has been argued over forever. i'd run a pcv because it actually pulls air and contaminants from the crankcase, where as a breather only vents it. if you could run it to the intake tube like regency said, thats what i'd do.

T it to the line going into your TB. it pulls gases from your crank case. That little bit of vacuum helps pull Pressure (gas) from crank case which in turn lets rotating assemblies spin faster due to less crank case pressure and minimise oil foaming.... does this make sense? every little bit helps right????
