    u cna use both of them to filter the crankcase fumes. instead of just having them blow into thin air. Instead of recirculating them back into the Intake manifold. or TB wherever it goes back to like its supposed to.

    The hose that gets disconnected by people is used to vent. But it can cause problems when the Pvc setup gets clogged. So u can use a inline breather filter to filter the fumes or a glass inline fuel filter like the second one.. i used to on my pro.. worked great! even with a new pcv it still let soem stuff get by that the glass filter would catch.
    u can see it in between the IM and the valve cover..

    nothing!

    The hose people always disconnect(and put a breather filter on), is supposed to be a vent, for the valvecover, and circulate fumes from inside of the Valve cover, out thru the Pcv valve, and into the Intake manifold.

    It used the vaccum from the IM/Intake hose.. to do this... So when people just disconnect the hose, and throw a breather filter on it... the fumes cant be circulated and filtered.. properly..

    Look at the hose, connected to the intake hose.. thats where people always put a breather filter on..... instead of using a correct Intake setup that lets the vaccum work like its supposed to!
