was a diagram saying "PCV air in". Now does this just get cleaned, or
replaced? Tomorrow I'm doing the "pinch" test. I'm also putting some
serious thought into this 'nutter' thing. I'm not concerned with NOx,
C3p0, R2D2, or any of it. Would just running without a CAT make any
difference? We have no emission testing here :) Dan

The PCV system has a fresh air in hose that goes to the rear of the
valve cover. It is just a big empty hose and fitting drawing fresh air
from the air filter.

If the cat has issues, it will run 'way' better without one.
