Pep-boys Breather
ok what the hell would be the purpose of a breather and where does it go on our cars.... this has always beena a question i forget to ask but... ok my friend says he put a breather on his gsr and it gave him 10hp (personaly i think he is full of ****) help me prove him wrong
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".

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..

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.
