I eventually will pipe this filter towards the fire wall when I get some time maybe. But it seems to working as is I've seen no drop in MPG's so I might leave it. If these don't help let me know I'll get some more in the morning.

No thats perfect, I didn't realize the 4.7 was laid out so much differently than the hemi. Can't really copy that setup.
Only thing im really not a fan of about that setup is that you are no longer pulling negative pressure in the crank case...
Can you explain that to me? is there something I need change or modify?Originally Posted by Matt_
Long story short, pressure will build up in the crank case which is not good... even though you're vented to atmosphere, having the intake "suck" the air out of the crankcase (creating negative pressure) helps the engine in efficiency and reliability. Basically; pressure in crank case = bad for rings and seals,,,,, blow-by gasses and oil in crank case are also bad and won't be evacuated as efficiently as having a vacuum on that tube.
Here's a good/quick read to give you a slightly longer version of what i just said:

ok that make sense. How long do think I can go before solving this issue? I planned to pipe the thing anyway. Should I make that a priority?
No immediate rush... lol its not going to cause your engine to blow up or anything. Since you're already planning on piping it in, just do it when you planned on it.
