Universal breathers for the valve cover?
I was wondering if anybody knows if the breathers really help for performance or if I should just leave the hose running from my CAI to the Valve cover?
If the breathers really do help should I put one on the CAI also.
I've seen the breathers on some cars but I didnt know if they would help or not or if it is worth it. Thanks for helping!

all the hose does is suck crankcase fumes back into the intake right? Also I notice that sometimes oil gunk goes thru this hose back into the intake. I thought fresh air would be better?

yes, by just placing a small filter on the valve cover it will stop your intake manifold from getting all gummed up with oily residue. Because it is a pollution control function I don't think you can just pop a filter on there if you have emission testing in your area.

yeah, best thing to do is have an oil-catch tank in between the two spots...I have almost a 1/8th of a quart in mine right now...
