Filtering vented stock BOV

I very much want to vent my blow off valve but I don't want to keep it unfiltered. Any ideas on how I would go about filtering it?

Where exactly in this picture would I apply this filter?

Defiantly filter it or you'll end up with black stuff all over the place.

Just stick the filter in the end of the rubber hose that comes off the airbox.

I'm not talking about filtering the air box side - I think I'm just going to plug that with some kind of cork or something. I'm referring to the bov side because I heard the bov sucks in air and I don't want it sucking in bad stuff.

BOV is a ONE WAY VALVE. She don't suck ****.

It will blow a little oil though... So YES, you can out a filter on it.

I also heard the stock BOV flows both ways. Here are a few links that talk about it. I am not sure if these explain it very well. But they do talk about it.

Take the rubber hose off at the airbox that connects the bov to the airbox. You should then have a 4" rubber hose coming off the end of the bov. STICK A FILTER IN THAT HOSE. Then put a cork or whatever on the airbox.

Yup!!


And where is this BOV sucks air **** coming from? So BOV's that are not connected to an air filter of any kind are going to suck in dirt & ****?

Or is this just for the stock BOV (though I don't see the sifference..)

They're probably taking about, if you don't cap/plug off the nipple on the airbox, you will then have an open hole sucking air from the engine bay.
