Also the top hose(red), leads to a 1 inch or so Cone Air Filter.

Sorry for being so newbie.

looks like a catch can. it catches excess oil from the valve cover to the intake i believe.

Will I need to drain this periodically? If so, what time frame are we talking about?

First post in this forum, wow didn't know you guys responded this quick

The top red hose to a filter is just venting it to the atmosphere. Not necessarily the best way, but it works.

Yes, you'll need to drain it every so often. Without a sight glass on there, you'll have to guess. Maybe drain it every 2-3 months a few times and see if the same amount comes out each time. Then you can figure out how often you might need to drain it.

What I'm more curious about is where all the skinny red hose coming from the blow off valve goes to. It kind of looks like it's fed from your intake pipe.

And you should make sure you don't ground out your strut tower bar on your positive battery terminal. It's very close and any movement of the battery could cause a big fire.

you will need to change it out every now and then. Check it maybe once every three to four weeks. Dont be alarmed when it looks milky.

Do you have a 1g intake mani with a 2g head?

Oh and your strut bar is on backwards.

Yes it is an oil catch can. It's not hooked up the way I would have it, but it's still an oil catch can nonetheless. Do a search for "oil catch can" and you will find plenty to read up on.

Here's an example.

Looks to be a 1g head by the water pipe and thermostat housing setup. Just running a 2g CAS.
