All the filter does is vent teh pressure into the air.

Yes and along it some pretty toxic gasses from the crankcase.

In my personal experience, running a catchcan that is vented into the atmosphere gets the oil darker sooner. I'm sorry if this comes across as tree hugging or getting all greenpeace on this thread.... but it's best to run a closed loop system for the street.

That way any emissions from the crankcase can be cycled back into the engine and hopefully you will be running a cat as well to reduce pollution.

This is the one I use on the street and on the track since it can be converted to run open or closed loop.
