valve cover breather

I put a breather on my valve cover today. It's kinda slick.
I can turn it up so it can not be seen.
I think it is a good accent to the zex box.
So I deleted the hose going to the intake and caped it off.
And also got ride of the metal tubes that linked them together.
The other 2 lines I just made shorter with one line.

I don't know if this is the right way but......

I also want to do the TB coolent bypass since I don't think I've did it before.

Oddly enough it looks like an R/C car air filter.

It is, Integy Big Block air filter.
Before the acura my toy was a savage X.
Had it for 1 yr and threw about 2,500 into it.
Every piece is done and now it huge.
Since the acura it's just sitting.

Lol.

I had a couple electric cars, an E-Maxx, a nitro dragster (custom made), a nitro RS4, and a Traxxis nitro 4tec. The 4tec is what I put a shitload of money into. It did 70+, but I had nowhere to run it. Every part was either aluminum or carbon fiber. I loved building it, but I sold it to buy my first car.

Yes it does. Its funny when I tell people I sold my r/c to get my first actual car. But its still scary to see how much I put into it and how much I got back.

funny this thread started today i was going to put a breather on my cl yesterday....if you have oil build-up on in that filter you have more major problems to worry about than how fancy your engine looks....that being said you should have no problems and it does look very nice....i took the plastic covers off my motor so i didn't need to turn it like that but its def. a good idea
