Default Crank breather

I searched but couldnt find an answer to this: would a crank breather kit really help? My car has B16A3 and is bone stock, other than a short air intake. I heard that ther can be very high pressure in the crankcase causing seals to blow over time. I'd like to avoid that...so, worthy mod or just a "fashion" item?

breather is a hose that goes from the VC to the intake tube. or you can put a small filter on it. dont plug that nipple on the VC or it wont let that pressure out

autozone and advance sell those little filters for breather valves, i have one on mine. it allows the air to escape but keeps the oil from shooting out of it.

or you can just hook up a hose from that to the intake and the oil that does shoot out just burns up(its not that much)

BTW the size that you would need whether it be a hose or filter would be 3/8"
