apex'i intake question

so yesterday i decided to install my dual apex'i intake. pretty good fitment i'd say, except for one thing...my hood pushes on it kind of harsh. but thats not the question i'm concerned about. i've got one of the pipes that's suppose to attach to one of the smaller rubber hoses on the left of the top filter adapter, but i bought this car previously installed with an apex'i bov. its connected to that hose earlier, and so the filter adapter is not connected to anything really. so the question is, can/should i relocate the blow off valve somewhere else? i know with the greddy elbow, i can put the bov on that, but is there anywhere else i can do it, so that i can connect that one hose to the filter adapter? or should i just leave it? (the pipe is plugged right now) here's a picture to sorta get what i'm getting at...thanks in advance...its just something that is bothering me




bah imagestation sucks!

That hose would lead to one of your stock BOVs, and can be kept plugged up. I vented mine, so I just capped it off, and I'm fine.

Just cap it. or youcan even take that fitting off if you wanted. They are just glued in to place.

You may be able to pull the top filter down enough with a large ziptie that it doesnt rub. Or did you use the supplied brackets? if so, I would remove the fitting.
