hit up vatche on here, I think he has a couple intake tubes kicking around in good shape and he is always up north in your neck of the woods. I wouldn't jank something together. Go back to OEM or upgrade to an injen. Do it right or dont do it at all.

alright will do. thanks man!you think its a good idea to put two breathers on the oem tubing and valve cover ?

I don't think you will see any gain anywhere in doing so. Save your money on those little breathers for good tires or somewhere where it will make a difference. The single slammer can be built and I have no idea what stage you are in with your car...but I wouldn't bother with something that will be purely aesthetic.

good point. but i was only contemplating it since i was gonna get anoter hose without the pipe. but now its just to eliminate that stupid hose all together and dont know if itll cause problems if i do so

Here's the thing....Without looking at it I cant remember where the valvecover vent goes into the intake. But that is un-metered air. The problem with un-metered air is the car relies on the maf (mass air-flow) reading to tell it how much fuel to dump into the chambers. If you modify the intake to where you are allowing this extra air in, it could react like a vacuum leak, which could create high idle, as well as a lean condition. Bottom line, run it stock....OR throw on some ITBs.....lol jk unless you can afford em.

Hit up vatche, he is reasonable with his pricing and can get you almost anything s13 related....from stock to aftermarket. Good guy.

moth · 06-23-2012, 01:11 AM

haha i hit him up. he has a bunch of stuff

hellraiser · 06-23-2012, 01:17 AM

I will warn you, be careful around him.....I never really realized all the random stuff on my car that is broken until he started selling me parts.....if you like a clean clean car he has the hookup on parts to keep it oem and clean parts....I had broken tail lights and I was missing interior, I am buying parts from him to get it all back together properly lol.
