   Guys i have a K&N air filter but just the filter so no where for the breather pipe to fit onto. Now my question is, do i have to have a filter on it? can i just leave it for a lil while till i get one? or is there anything else i can do with it?
   
   I was told that i could just poke a pipe from it down facing under the car?
   
   Pics...
   Not got a clue about all the pipes lol
   can any one shed some light on them
   
   Is that a sensor on the like T junction bit? if not why does it go to that black box that goes into the throttle body (i think thats what its called)
   
   With this one whats the little round bit off the oil hose from the rocker cover?
   Sorry for my thickness just i didnt think it would have this many pipes from every where.

   run it into the K&N filter somehow, this will stop the engine from running lean and eventually burning out the valves...

   i have a team dynamic air filter and on my silver tube that connects the air filter to the Throttle body there is another seperate whole for this to go on to.
   
   it should just be fine for now, as long as you get another filter to go on the oil breather a.s.a.p

   use a hole saw or similar to make a hole in the rubber base so you can tightly push the breather pipe in
   
   Dont use a breather filter, the breather pipe goes into the air filter for a good reason. That reson is to help the engine run the correct air/fuel mix

   Get it sorted out as soon as possible mate,you can buy a metal pipe from ebay with a 90 degree bend in it with a take off for the breather pipe your k+n clamps onto the end with a jubilee clip.

    I know this is an old post but does this really work? I've got an air filter but haven't got a oil breather filter, if the hole in the pipe to plug it into works I'll just do that...
