Ok so heres the deal i have a K&N FIPK that is installed on my 2001 Dak R/T, and what happened was the breather tube to the valve cover broke off, its the little tube that comes out of the back of the intake arm on the passenger side of the engine, and that is attached to a rubber tube about 8inches long going to the valve cover.
Will I be able to get a whole new unit from K&N as defective product? Tried calling (todays sunday there closed)
for the mean time i plugged off the hole to the intake arm , and bought one of those small little filters that look like there from K&N and put on the valve cover breather whole.
what do you guys think about this whole situation, and has anyone had this happen to them as well?

Honestly just having that breather filter on the valve cover will work fine. That's what many older model cars had was just a breather filter stuck into the valve cover. It works just the same as the one you had that attached to the intake. So unless it bothers you (and you just want a new intake) I wouldn't worry about it.

The hose from the air hat to the valve covers is on there for a reason. It needs to suck out the blow-by fumes in the engine. You want it to do this. Get the new hat. See my reply in the Performance section, this same question was there too.

I called K&N Monday and they worked out everything so i'm getting the replacement K&N intake tube, and i just have to send them the broken one after i get the new one.
THey are very reasonable people and can help anyone with a problem as long as you didnt break yourself,
