My yellow one was making abnormally loud noises and wasnt functioning functionally correctly so I got a new one. Which I appreciated.


But while at the rx's shop I noticed while waiting on my breather I saw that they use spectre breathers from autozone but replaced the internal valve (or whatever from the bottom) and put a Rx check valve in it...


Edit: Now I have no problems with mine now...but if I knew that beforehand...I wouldn't have bought it.

I saw that too when I was down there but it wasn't terribly shocking news, considering the design. I'm sure just about anybody could make one at home without much trouble, considering the parts involved. The 1LE-style one though, that appears to be a bit different.

Small companies cobble together off the shelf parts to make new things all the time that the public could do themselves but that doesn't stop them from buying the things. Not sure where the fault is here.

I thought that was the point to get the RX breather, the internal valve... already notice the resemblance between RX & Auto Zone....


Off Topic: with all this rain I want to give my car a quick wash, I saw this special on Kmart weed blower for $20, so bought it and WOW! This cut my drying more than 1/2!!! Took me only 45 minutes wash/dry the car...

That's the exact one I use.

Bought it at Sears. Best $20 I ever spent. No need for anything bigger than that one I think. No offense to the Adams Army (of which I'm a soldier), but I think their blowers are just a tad much. At least for me and my DD Camaro anyway.

Never said there was a "fault"...only that I wouldn't buy it again...I don't like misconceptions and that's what the breather was regardless of mine getting replaced which like I said before...I appreciated.

Might need to look into that since I only have a gas blower and I just did my paint correction. Don't want to introduce any more swirls
