Air filter near oil cap

Hey guys, i apologize if this has been spoken of before but i was watching a video by matt from gearhead on installing the GH intercooler and i noticed this air filter on his vehicle right next to the oil cap. Any insight on what its for? Thanks yall

I didnt realize i had these pictures saved on my phone, but this hose from the right of my oil cap to the bottom of the chair cap is what im assume it replaced. Anyway is there a benifit for it? I would assume so if he did it, i just don't know what.

What are your plans with the car. I personally would be looking at a UPR catch can even for a stock SHO. It will block that port off, and add one to the oil cap that comes with the kit.

Im glad you brought that up cause i was gonna buy a universal one and plumb it in until i save up for a good one, is that where it goes?

So do. I would look to see how they are routing the universal one. I only know UPR.

JLT, not a bad one. Same one I have on mine. Easy to install and works as it should.

I bought this one on amazon for my f150 3.5eco. Works pretty well, cost me 20$ until i wanna shell out bigger monies (it comes with a plug for where the filter breather is at as well). Just had to get some 1/2 hose and some hose clamps and works well for now. Anyway i bought another for the taurus, just trying to figure out where to route it and what that hose is for by the oil filter cap.
