its a filter for your breather pipe isnt it, for your crankcase ventilation, and i dunno why you find it cute lol only you have the answer to that one my friend

I have odd fetishes I think. I don't get where abouts on the breather pipe it goes though. Doesn't the breather sort of need to be in the air box/induction pipe

some people make their own induction kits with no place to feed crakcase gasses into it. so they fit one of these instead

Its supposed to stop the oil vapours coming out, but it wont stop any unburnt hydrocarbon fumes which is why the breather should go back to the air inlet.

these are more suitable for the rover 620 TI (turbo) and SDi (Disel turbo) If put on some other cars they reduce the performance.

Just speaking from experience as used them on friends rovers.

Can these be added to a GSR? Replaces the breather pipe?

Aww thate is cute.

Im sure ive seen someone do that on there GSR :S

Is that not where they go?

If you took the breather out of the induction pipe and put that on the end you'd lose loads of power

Yh well logiclly. Were do these go then?

well i think youl loose summat cos you wont have any of them hydrocarbons goin into air intake as you would with breather on

Breather pipe is to let hot air into the engine isn't it? Pumps alot of warm air out

I thought it was simply to re-circulate the air and not to allow it to be openly expelled into the atmosphere?

Maybe then! Attached to the air box and hot air comes out so I presume it was to go back into the throttle body

breather pipe is the crack case ventilation so the it ventilates by recirculating the gases back through the throttle body through the induction stage.

i think its illegal to have the gases exposed to the atmosphere thats why they recirculate instead of spreading through the air we breathe

i think you fail mot if you have one of these filters on the breather pipe dont you because it is still allowing gases to the atmosphere
