thinking about doing this. not sure exactly the function of these tubes but I'm still researching/trying to wrap my head around it.

very satisfied with the Z1 post maf tubes and this would be a fun and cheap little upgrade.

anyone have more info on how the stock parts work?

I have them. No check engine lights, and as far as I can tell work just like the stock ones with less bulk and better fit on aftermarket intakes.

The stock ones looked like they had little "reservoirs" for maybe oil blow by to be collected in, but my stock ones didn't have anything in them after almost 20k miles.

I have pictures in my gallery of this installed along with Stillen Gen 3's.

A couple of us have had fitment issues with them. Check Z1 side pcv tubes fitments with smooth tubes

I had a similar issue, but I put the hose clamp on in a slightly different way and it is perfect now. I love them.

I should probably buy something like this for my K&N's seeing how I have no PCV tube connected at all..basically just a straight leak lol. My intakes (purchased used) never came with the crank case tubes so it's never been connected. Never had issues other then slight throttle blips randomly from I assume a small vacuum leak.

When my passenger side pcv tube slipped off (before I corrected the clamp) I got a P0300 code. I am surprised that isn't giving you that same issue with nothing connected.

I threw the code once and as soon as I cleared it, it never came back and that was about a year ago lol.
