Exclamation Oil cap breather.....

Ive seen the Metco oil cap breathers but they're over $50.00

Are there any alternatives?

Something cheaper?

Thanks!!

What the hell did you just say.....

Yes all of the ones that I have seen are around 50 buck as well. One of the nicer ones I have dealt with it the one through Speed Inc. They have 2 kinds on their website, make sure you are looking at the one that twists into the filler neck.

Grab a dremmel and cut a hole in the top of your fill cap. Go to autozone and buy a 10 dollar push in breather. RTV them together. Did it on mine and it works great.
