Breather filter on the crank case vent?

[RadDsm]

So I am going to install my FP 4" intake this week, and since it isnt tapped for the charcoal canister or the crank case vent, I was wondering if its fine to run a breather filter on it? I will just be removing the charcoal canister all together.

I just dont want to have to tap the pretty intake for a line. Thanks for the suggestions.

Don't put a breather filter. These usually tend to get dirty over time really quick and will cause your oil dipstick to pop out, and i tell you this from experience, and my pcv valve was good and recently changed on my previous gst.
I suggest you just run a line vented from the vc 2' down and let it hang. It will be fine.

This is not proper crankcase ventilation. Running it just open into the atmosphere will cause more crankcase pressure. The best and only way to properly run it is to run it to a catch can (without a filter on top) and then to your intake.

Just drill a hole into the bottom side of the intake, tap it and thread an angled fitting into it. For extra safety you could then put some JB Weld around the fitting to make sure it doesn't come out. This way you are venting your crankcase pressure properly, but you can't see any fittings on the side of the intake.

That sounds like a good idea, can you recommend a fitting? I looked online and there are so many.
