Breather pipe/ air intake pipe


Recommended Posts

As you can see my car doesnt have a breather pipe, but ive been running it like this for ages and im wondering whether it will do any damage without it or is it fine without?

Ive had it for 11 months and not an issue, still does great mpg and never runs bad? Would i better to get one and put it in?

 

Yea there was a few months back when I had a 1.0 that I didn't have it on. Never noticed any difference either!

Not really. The "issue" is more that air flow is restricted in that area, supposedly. Plus there's already a filter in the air box so why have two? 

That being said, the pipe that is missing is also very restrictive as it goes down to a very small diameter and then sucks air from the front wheel well for whatever reason. Arguably I'd say I'd rather have none as you have as at least there's a bigger diameter hole at the air intake end. As with everything though I'm sure others will disagree.
