I guess he has money to burn. I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs. Fucking amateurs. :

Oh yeah, it's Alex's engine bay, my bad.
Where the fuck did I post this thread this time Tim?? I gotta stop posting when I'm half asleep.

Those two other lines are probably the coolant lines that are not connected to the line that goes to your valve cover. Don't over think this one, it's literally a vacuum line that goes from your valve cover to your intake. Some of them have that weird plastic valve thingy, but others don't. Those other lines are just next to that vacuum line and don't have anything to do with this mod. IMHO, it's a waste of money and I would just leave it alone. It's basically just one of those "look at this" mods that does nothing for performance.
By "weird plastic valve thingy", do you mean that odd-shaped plastic piece that sits in the middle of the line that connects the valve cover to the intake? Anyway, I only posted so many questions because those other two coolant lines seem to be welded to the vacuum line that this mini filter seems to replace (on my car at least), so I couldn't understand how it was possible to do it in the first place without figuring out what to do with the two coolant lines. I'd probably never do this mod, but you know I'm a curious bastard.

Actually Dave, you had posted this in general discussion. I'm surprised Tim didn't move it sooner with the replies he posted.

Unless your car is different, I don't think the coolant and valve cover breather lines are together. My engine bay is a bit different than most people's though, so it may just be the fact that I've already removed all that shit and replaced it with my own lines.

Yeh Tim, slacker.
I'm pretty sure mine are all attached, so my bay may be different than yours.

i know on the v6 the coolant and valve cover breather lines are together i had breathers installed in my car they work good while driving but when stopped the idle was a bit ruff since it was sucking in all the hot air from the engine bay

Ok guys, you can take this for whatever you want...
The little filter thingy (Breather) really is not good for our engine and WILL fail emmisions as you have removed part of the emissions control system entirely and are now venting crank case gasses to atmosphere. Our engines like a little vacume in the crank case which is why it is connected where it is.Now a oil catch can allows the gases to still be injested back in keeping emissions happy, but also giving a place for the heavier oil to drop out and is the proper solution. But if you have a really anal (asshat) inspector he can still fail you on visual.

Thanks for the info Paul.
Dave, after watching your video I see what you're talking about. I got a flashback from when I installed my intake like 8 million years ago. I think that with my AEM intake, we removed that piece all together. I do remember that we removed one of the coolant lines during the install.

Thanks for the heads-up Paul.
Tim, I am aware that certain aftermarkets intakes (such as Injen I believe) come with a hose that totally replaces that whole odd-looking oem contraption, while other intakes (like my K&N) seem to reuse the oem part. That's weird in itself, but my bigger question now is that if you had to remove one of your coolant lines, what did you do with the flow of the coolant? Did you have to plug up where the hose used to be at both ends, or did you do something else???

I think he replaced that line altogether. Follow the lower line of that two part hose assembly and you'll see what we're talking about.

^What he said. I just replaced the line so it doesn't need that silly ass metal line.

Funny thing is, honda has been putting that very same silly metal line in their 4 cyl engines for a long time. My 87 Integra had that same shit in it. Why they do it, I'll never know.

To keep the gases hot so that they don't sludge up the line over time.....
