I need to jump in here. I don't understand the part
about venting into the atmosphere. An engine is nothing more than a large air pump. The crankcase has to have an inlet and outlet. How can anyone say that the intake side is emitting, it's drawing. Thats what the opposite end is for(PCV). I could understand their theory on older vehicles before PCV. They had an intake side where the engine drew in its air, and a road tube that usually came out of the block and ran down to a point somewhere near the bottom of the engine. This vented the crankcase emissions.
I have my intake side vented to a paper filter to atmosphere, and thats where its going to stay. The more you close up an engine, the worse its going to run. Its gotta breath! The better it breaths, the better it will run. Try this one time, close your mouth and one nostrile and see how far you can run!
If you live somewhere that they check on this, I would try my best to route the hose differently so they can't pick up on it. Try hooking it back up to your stock box, but put a black plastic tee in the line where it's not noticeable and hook it to one of the small paper filters. Just place the filter in a place where they can't see it without hunting for it.
