brethers are ok but I have been told by my mechanic that when you leave the hose attached the suction from the intake manifold helps to vent the Crank case.

Depends, some cars run well without the PCV valve attached and a breather in place and some don't.

Yeah if you are going to make ur own intake, dont go short ram, go CAI.

Here are directions on how to do it for our cars:

So, get a rubber tube and plug the Pcv in to the intake-Thats how im running mine!! You wont hit low 16s with stock internals with a short ram!! You will with a CAI!! :)

Just do the Cold Air Intake first, the short ram is a waste of time
