They go on the valve/cam cover were the hose runs from the valve/cam cover to the intake. The purpose of the factory hose is to ventilate the crankcase gasses back into the intake to burn again. You put this lil filter there on the valve/cam cover and plug the intake. That way the crankcase is still ventilating and you're not suckin in hot air into the intake. You want the coolest air as possible to enter your engine.
Here's a pic of my engine. You can see it on the right side of the cam cover, right above the ignition wires.

:EDIT:
LMAO! I just noticed that this was the Honda/Acura section LOL! No big deal, it's all the same!

Saturnguy is correct, and also, once you get into higher HP numbers, its better to get rid of that and your PCV system, because any oil blow by that enters your intake via PCV, can lower your octane and cause detonation...

If you're boosted, it's best to keep that thing disconnected as well, being as you don't want to pressurize your head/crank case.

However, if one of these isn't needed, I don't see why you would want one.

The main purpose of this is to eliminate the return system to keep the intake air cleaner. After 50K miles this makes your TB and IM look like shit on a stick.

Im ghetto, and didnt want to spend the few bucks on one, and just left mine unfiltered. I dont give a shit about the atmosphere. My residue can float around all it wants.
