?Air Breather?

I currently have an injen intake system in my 7th gen. and so yesterday when i went to the shop, the guy handed me an air breather for no absolute reason, along with the intake filter i had just purchased.

i came home and thought: "should i put this air breather on?"

and well? should i? what's it's purpose in life aside from engine aethetics?

it vents the crankcase just like the hose did, but now the crappy vapors are actuly vented and not just cycled back into your intake.

it actually helps HP if you keep the factory tube in and recirculating back into the intake if your are not Boosted... boosted apps you don't want all that boost pressure going into your valve cover it would make it very hot as welll
