Default OEM or is Autozone, Advance etc ok for a PCV valve?

I bought a PCV valve a few weeks ago and finaly I am doing an oil change. I found the valve on the left side of the box. Now I realize its a straight PCV valve and not an L shape like the one they sold me. Now noone has it except Autozone. Honda would have to order it prly. So could I go with autzone and be ok with a stock D16Y8 w/ a CAI? Let me know thanks!!

I was just asking peoples advice. Some people buy OEM for the piece of mind. Others dont.

What a pain in the *** that job was. There are things that run across so you cant get any leverage or get your hands up there. Word to the wise, once you get the PCV valve dissconnected from the black box. Pull it up through the intake manifold. Its easier to get the old one out and the new one in that way.
