some people think that pcv is somehow bad for performance (it is not) so they put breathers on the valve cover to solve a non-problem they perceive they have.

if the fact that blow-by contains droplets of engine oil bothers you, many people have put together some sort of oil catch can inline of the pcv system, but their pcv system is still hooked up.
