Small tube that hooks to your air intake

[Crowbarr_1]

I was woundering what the small rubber tube is that hooks to your air intake is mine keeps kinking can i put a small filter on it or not what is the purpose thanks

Crankcase ventilation. You're fine putting a small filter on it, Vararam includes one with their Airgrabber to do the same.

Someone told me it was your PVC or something like that and if I put a filter on it it would start useing oil real bad not to put it on there

It's PCV in other words Crankcase ventilation

You can put a little breather filter on there but then you are having un-metered air enter the motor which could cause idling problems. Some oil could come out of the filter.

PCV is on the passenger side and hooks into the intake manifold right under the throttle body. The crankcase breather coming off the oil fill tube on the driver side and hooks into the air intake.

So we have a breather that comes stock?

My S and B had a little bit of oil where that tube attaches to the intake the other day. The intake tube was dry, though. Plus my throttle body had a little bit of oil on the bottom of it even though I have a BT catch can and keep it emptied regularly. I wonder if a catch can could be put on that line also?

 

[HLram]

Any opinions on the catch can on that line?

 

[TylerB]

Sure you could.

[SIhemi]
