Default Breather fume relocation
Anyone that has done the breather fume relocation to under the car (LMR's kit), did you guys put filters on the end of the lines? I am in the process of re-routing mine from my lashway motorsports can and was kicking around the idea of putting filters on the ends just because I am antsy about having open lines.

Any issues with pressure if you did do filters?

I have the LMR breather (updated revision) with my lines run down to the inside of the front drivers side of the bumper. I have installed an Airaid filter on each of the lines. Havent seen any pressure issues.

I have the FSP and yes, it comes with 2 filters on the output of the breather. They look like mini K&N filters.

That looks like -10 AN fittings with 1/2 inner diameter heater hose? Similar to what I'm gonna do. Any pics of the filters on the evacuation ends?

Please post pictures when it is complete. I also have the Lashway catch can and have been wanting to relocate the breather filters.

Thanks.

No problem. Will have it done this weekend. Had some custom adapters made for the can to adapt -10AN lines. I will do a write up when I'm done.

AN fittings were an option with the FSP breather/catch can but then you need to weld bungs to the valve covers so the AN fitting will connect. I went with Push Lock fittings.
