valvecover airfilter
 

are these things not dot aproved and why did i get a 160$ ticket for having it

Because they open up your closed crankcase ventilation system so engine pollutants can escape untreated to the atmosphere. That defeats the operation of your vehicle emissions controls.

And the fine should have been closer to $400. Count your blessings.

I was given a summons to court, with the possiblity of a $500 fine. You're very lucky.

better change mine

anyone know if their is a major advantage to having this done ive had thje filter their since i owned my car but never really knew if it was worth keeping

It does nothing to improve performance on today's cars. The only purpose it serves is as eye-candy.

0 purpose for my 92 eg ?

Nothing at all....

there is no purpose to this. you will probably GAIN power (however insignifcant it may be) by providing a vacuum on your crankcase by leaving it like factory, connected to the intake.

don't be cheap and just get a catch can

are you guys talking about breathers? little mini cone filters attathced to my valve cover? thats illegal? cmon, what is this world coming to?

yep their illegal huge ticket to pulled mine off last week not worth the dam ticket

not like a cop's ever gonna make you pop your hood though...

Want to bet?

its an emmissions related component and the filter is basically venting blow by vapour to the atmosphere. Your better off with just a catch can anyways.
