    Why would you think that would be a good first "mod"? You'll lose vacuum, so I guess if you consider that a benefit go for it...

    Read this article on how PCV systems work. HowStuffWorks "How does a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system work?"

    As Spade said..you'd create a vacuum leak by putting on a breather. If anything..it'll only cause issues.

    If you are looking for appearance type stuff. Consider fender or full body stripes, painted calipers, maybe some interior trim pieces painted.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
