Well I'm not quite sure what you mean by "intake BREATHER" .  What exactly are you talkn about, something like a CAI?  Well Injun makes one for the 240sx and many people have them on here.  Try doing a search for what you are looking for.

I see from your sig that you have a K&N.  Is that what your talkn about?  Do you have a cone or drop-in filter?  Either way nothing too big in performance.

are you talking about engine breathers (aka air ducts)?  Those will increase the air flow into your engine, they are pretty cool... im going to get it just for as a dress-up item... it looks cool and makes a phhiiiii noise that sounds pretty cool.. they're cute! but you might have to turn up the idle a little bit, because of the increased air flow!
Later!

you mean a breather FILTER? the little filters you buy for your engine? i don't think you need one unless you replace your airbox with an open element... that's how it was with my lebaron.
