Default crankcase filters?

just curious how much of an effect a crankcase filter has on an engine. i don't mean power wise, just like emissions or anything like that. i have em1 if that matters.
thanks.

Just have it reroute into your intake, like from the factory, that way the vacuum of the intake will help relieve pressure in the crankcase, and it is way better than venting to atmosphere.

Your crankcase won't vent as efficiently as it would with the factory setup, I could maybe see justifying one if you were running a turbo, but in that case you would just run a catch can..
