waste ricers,waste all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats just a mini filter on the air pump. Not a valve cover. And it proly does nothing but help your air pump breath hotter air. I had one to and about ever 3000 miles it was black and needed recharged, plus it was half melted. I took off my air pump, and you should too, unless you have emisions i dont know if that makes it not pass. :notify:

I think he is talking about something different. His friends have replaced thier hose and now instead of venting and burning again, it vents into the atmosphere, and thier engine compartments spewing oil onto thier valve covers. I believe he is talking about a cone filter perhaps.

What IS the point of the filter replacing the hose?
