air intake question

[portaman03]

i have an accord also. dont worrk about that "hanging hose". if u look closely its actuallly a metal tube welded/connected to another, with 2 rubber hoses on either side. this was the hose to vent the crankcase gases back into your intake system. but since you hooked up that apparent "blue hose" that came with the aftermarket intake, your all set. better yet, go to your local auto/hardware shop and buy 2 breather filters, 1 for the valvecover and one for the intake where the hose connects. it will keep your throttle body plate sqeaky clean.

I think it looks stupid with 2 breathers(valve cover / intake) The valve cover is fine, plug the intake. Whats the point of having the breather on a CAI(intake part) to suck in HOT air, kinda voids the whole purpose.

well i have one on mine, and when used with the right components, the hot air doesnt affect, and it looks showy too. by components i mean intake heat shield, heat wrap, etc. you know, anything to get the coldest air possible to the cylinders. i have a short ram, filter heat shield, and a custom mechanism running front my bumper blinker assy. to the filter. it rams all the cold air on to the K&N. not a bad idea and a good investment for a used spray bottle and some PVC piping with bends. lol

Take it from me. Those breathers that they sell in discount and napa, its all for show. no real purpose. my suggestion is just connect PCV to intake.
my motto is....."if its not broke, dont fix it"

hey man "I can't tell if these two hose that are stuck together has an opening where these two hoses connect"...they dont have an opening

You sure one of the hoses isn't connected to the carb? Because if it is, you need to get a filter for that thing.

if we are talking about the same thing...it happened to me when i got my intake, i had it just hanging there for a while, but once i got tired of looking at it i had someone cut it off that knew what to do with it. he just cut it and sealed it so the anti-freeze wouldn't come out! (which it did right after he cut it) i would say leave it unless you know someone who can cut it for ya and make sure its done right...but make sure your car hasn't been running for a while because we made the mistake of doing it right after i've been driving for an hour and it was hot and hard to seal! but leaving it hanging wont do any harm!
