Corey1 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) 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?

Skezza Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Not a breather pipe. Air intake pipe. It'll run like crap, but it won't do any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Corey1 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Would putting a cone filter on be any use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 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.

Corey1 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 It never runs bad as it is now so i was just wondering if it would over time or if it would improve anything with it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
