Injen 2040 5SFE install Options

[starscream10]

Hi guys

I have been reading a few post on installing the short ram Injen intake and have seen different setup for it.

The two ports sticking out of the intake pipe do I just plug them?, put a mini filter on them?, or connect to the valve cover?.

If i do connect to the valve cover what do I do with the stock connection which is connected to the throttle body that I disconnected.?

Thank you

Wait a minute, the crankcase breather hoses?
The one on the right(from the from of the car) side that connects to the throttlebody is a breather hose. It allows fresh filtered air to flow into the engine.
You can install a minifilter on the breather hose and it will provide 100% the same function as stock. Which is allowing fresh air into the motor while filtering out dust, hair or whatever junk you can think of you dont want getting sucked inside your engine.
The other hose, the one that the PCV valve is on must be connected to manifold vacuum. Wherever you run the pcv valve to it must draw vacuum. Moving the pcv valve hose over to the TB nipple for the breather hose will negate the purpose of the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system. You will produce more emissions, you will fail your state inspection test(in some places), and you will allow harmful contaminants to stay inside your engine rather than burning them off



Edit*
Plain and simply, the minifilters are fine on the breather hose(valve cover nipple to TB) but connecting the PCV valve to anything other than the manifold will be unlawful and would really do harm to your engine
