    S4 breather

    I got my s4 back from rebuild/ upgrades and was unpleasantly surprised to find out that the elbow for the breather on the front cover is now interfering with my sway bar. Is there any issue with using a brass breather vent plug with a 40 micron screen in lieu of the elbow with the coiled hose?
