If you run the vent hose 'up', I would strongly recommend adding a filter - you DON'T want to turn it into a funnel for rain water leading directly to your oilpan!! :ermm:

Mine goes up and connects to the air box. I thought about puting some kind of rubber p-trap in it. Sound like something you could do? They have them at lowes.
