ok so I just got a carbon fiber intake tube and am installing it.
Only problem is that there's some sorta rubber hose connected to the tube. What is it? The hose goes to the back of the engine. Is it important?
The Carbon fiber tube has no connection for this hose so is it just some sensor, pressure thing, or just another stupid nissan fastener thing?

I'm assuming so, since a lot of people have replaced their intake tube, but what are the consequences if any? Will this have an effect on emissions somehow?
thanks

so you plug the filter into the end of the tube or can you just take the tube completely off and plug the filter directly onto the valve on the engine that holds the tube? Or does it not really matter? Maybe it's better to put the filter on the tube so the tube can collect more oil?

edit: then it recirculates those gasses back into the intake and then to the cylinder heads.
it helps to cut down on the emmissions.

if it were me, I'd drill into your intake tube and put a brass fitting in there to connect this to - maybe use some silicone to help seal it up and ensure it wont fall out. I know it stinks, but while you can fit a breather filter onto it, your engine bay, over time, while get filthy by not recirculating the breather
Or, you could fit a catch can
