You are correct, he is full of sh-it. The pep boys breathers are made by APC which is complete garbage, my friend had one and the filter broke off the hose...complete waste. Anyway it connects to the valve cover. It is the hose from the valve cover to the intake, it lets gas re-circulate into the intake and get burned in the cyl. You will not gain much if anything. The only gain would be from getting a full cold charge instead of having a drop of heated gas in there. No benefit. They are needed if you are running a turbo setup. don't waste your time or money.

Hey gangsta, you should check out the thread where this kid claims that I/H/E a VAFC and a AEM Cam gear gave him 40+ HP. Mclean or something, "CAM GEAR HOOK UP". Man some of these people shouldn't even be allowed behind the wheel. and his "hookup" is just some dude that sells them on ebay and he bought one. HELLO! anyone that searches for "AEM CAM GEAR" gets this "awesome hookup".

Buddy, it's time for you to just give up..go slit your wrists or something, or hook me up with an address and ill come do it for you. You need to grow up, research and get some facts before you shoot your mouth off about something you have no idea about. Get lost, this MB would be better off w/o you.

I don't think he gained 40 HP max... I think what he means is he gained that power where it was lacking before... for example... say you only get 60 hp at 3000 rpms... not hes getting more power there, but hes not talking about gaining 40 hp above the stock 127.... you guys all need to grow up and stop ripping on each other..

i dont beleive it ! thank you IDQ civic this is exactly my piont that i was trying to bring accross for the last couple days but just bein flamed somepeople on this board or just so immature you cant beieve they are so immature for your age they dont want to hear the facts but anyway finally someone with some sense as ive been saying for the past couple days arguing with people saying he gained it in the areas where there was a power drop i never said that he gained 40hp ontop of 127 cause then that would be like 167 and thats impossible his highest horsepower was 141 or something like that but he gained up to 40 someplaces in the powerband where the hp drops sometimes thanks to tuning i was just trying to stress the importance of tuning and these guys just go out on a whole new limb i wish i could see the guy again and post the dyno sheet here just to shut these people up !
