if you are talking about the pipe that comes from the plastic intake to the back engine breather then yes this will make your car do as you have stated. What I did was got a piece of pipe from a brake master cylinder off of a wrecked car and put it there. You do need to cut it down and get it so that the bend isnt so pronounced. But it works at treat and best of all cost me nothing.
