Can somebody load up a picture of what the breather hose looks like coming off of the k/n filter on a Hahn setup. My filter doesn't seem to have a nipple coming off of it to connect a hose too like the manual says. Am I just an idiot?

My K&N filter with my Hahn kit didn't have a nipple on it. There was a small hole on the bottom that you're supposed to feed the hose thru. I just bought a patch and sealed it instead of running the hose from the valve cover into the filter. I didn't want oil in my air filter, intake pipe, turbo, etc...

Hehe, no. I sealed the hole in my K&N filter with a patch. I ran the hose from the valve cover to my catch can.

Ok, that makes more sense. I don't even a hole in my K&N so I don't even have to patch it. Hmmmm,... a catch can. I've seen lots of talk about these on here, but I don't know what they are. Just by guessing it sounds like I can run a line down from the breather nipple on the valve cover to a can that I mount somewhere on the car and just let it drain there?? Sorta like the "catch can" on the bottom of a grill that collects the grease off your hamburgers. Am I even close?
George - how's selling the car and kit coming along?

^^^ basically yes. A catch can is just a container with a small air filter on it that catches blowby oil while still allowing the valve cover to breathe. Check this thread for more details and pics...
