A metco breather is what you're looking for. Not sure exactly where to get it. Search some of our sponsors. I'm sure you can pick one up there.

You can get the Metco brather at Thunder. I have been running one on mine for about a year now with no problems at all.

After looking at your mods I don't think it's necessary.
