Might sound close but it is not. System is closed to atmosphere, breather is not. This doesn't filter anything, breather does. Filters fill up. The breather costs money, this doesn't, comes with the car. If GM, an OEM, went out their way to design and spend money on a part that they put in a customers hands, you better believe it is significant and that it is important on this car for high performance driving. I don't know of any OEM using breather caps. Have fun driving in rain and feeling comfortable that none of that water is not going through your breather cap right into your motor, oh and not into your combustion chamber, instead into your engine full of uncoated ferrous materials.
I don't have a lot of miles on my car and I have been runing with the OEM PCV seperator since day one. The RX catch can doesn't have any dark oil in it, still dripping WD40 (I used up a full can to wash it out).
I have about 1100 miles on the car so no oil in it yet.
