Default After fitting fmic, what to do with breather!!!

what should i do with the breather pipes after fitting my fmic.
they used to be connected across the tmic through the black pipes but obviously i no longer have them.

I have seen people leave the passenger side vent to air and then connected the drivers side and inlet pipe up together

Is this correct or should i connect them back up via the black tubes or some samco pipe?

Any help??????????

Newage? If so you can retain the metal pipes by taking them off the TMIC.

Think mine came with hoses and connectors to connect them together and then to the inlet pipe

You have two heads/rocker breather pipes that were Tee'd together in the metal pipes then vented into the inlet. If you want to keep the breathers just run hose(s) from the heads and use a T to join them before running to the inlet pipe.
