No! 15mm! Well the final inch is 16mm but I cut afew inches off to hide the breather so its 15mm. I'll triple check for you in the morning!

Sod that, search for .. Mini oil breather air filter on eBay. Company called ASH (auto silicone hoses) are top notch. Buy a 15mm breather with hose joiner. £6! I'll confirm and post pics 2moro night.

^^15mm or 16mm is to big!! and will slide off.

Its 13mm i just made a breather pipe up for my k-tec induction kit and the size needed was 13mm.

CHEERS mate, will get onto it...

Lol I dont know what you guys are smoking?
I cut the pipe that goes from the manifold to the plastic breather elbow on the inlet elbow. To check the size I got a 15mm copper pipe out of the van (im a builder) and bingo, it fitted in nice and tight.
I then bought a 15mm Internal Diameter Mini oil breather WITH 15mm OD barbed hose joiner. The joiner was pushed half way into the breather and halfway into the breather pipe, I then secured these with jubilee clips. its a very tight fit and will not be slipping off I can assure you of that!
Although the breather is not directly above the exhaust, I'm going to get a longer hose and direct the mini breather further away and hidden, I like stealth.

What you smoking oil?? when that filter gets soddend of oil it will start dripping on the exhaust manifold:dead:

15mm was to big when i done my breather the other day 13mm is a nice snug fit without the need for a jubilee clip.

its about 2inches to the side of the exhaust but I've got a new hose on the way so I'll be sorted in a week. oil smokes when it hits exhaust manifolds etc doesnt catch fire like most people seem to convey. I only fitted it this morning so It'll take a while to get sodden with oil.
im slightly suprised 13mm was a snug fit without the need for a jubilee clip, I can see how you could fit a 13mm breather with 13mm hose joiner. but I like it to be as big as possible.
next pic will be a vernier caliper in the end of the pipe

will this do then...?

 

[clio182nurburg]

Perfect in my opinion. I used that one, in silver, 15mm with hose joiner, let us know how you get on.

Just buy a proper catch tank

It's not 15mm it's 13mm!

 

[clio182nurburg]

Just buy a proper catch tank

Got one on the golf racecar but where the hell am I going to hide one on the Clio (needs to be stealth). These Clio don't pump much out the breather from what I can tell but I could do the old bottle trick just to see.

Matt I'm sure you can use 13mm but as 15mm was a perfect fit thought that would be better that going a size smaller.

 

[STEVOM]

Purchased one on eBay and yes it's 15mm and fits very well!!! Thanks guys.
