Breather for CAI?

RE: Breather for CAI?
The only reason I used a breather on the V/C was because my CAI didn't have a port for that hose. You have two choices, run the hose from the V/C to the Intake, or plug the port on the intake and slap a breather on the V/C. All the breather does is filter the **** that excretes from the V/C

Ok, here's the scoop:
In the stock setup, that hose goes from the valve cover to the intake pipe. The vacuum from the intake pipe draws the vapors from the valve cover, thus recirculating hot, sticky air back into your intake.
But in the suggested mod, you are removing that hose and putting an itty-bitty cone filter on that hose instead of hooking it into your intake. Look at the little filter in 40's picture, that's a breather.

If you mean beneficial over it going to the intake, or beneficial in using the breather filter instead of just a piece of hose?
It vents hot, oily air into the intake (which is why you want it disconnected from the intake)... and that same hot oily air would be venting right there next to the valve cover and might make a mess... so you use the little filter. Plus the breather filter stops foreign objects from entering the valve cover.

Sounds good I think I'll do this. Where can I buy these breather cones? You guys are making this harder to understand then it is. I think redridin nailed it. No dirty crappy air getting recirculated back into the intake + it filters our little debris etc...
