FACT:change any part of any emission control device difference from OEM spec is federal crime. I how ever believe it might be ok to change to another certified system.
Modding your PCV system is the same thing as deleting your cats.
If you change any part of PCV you technically speaking have committed a federal crime, which usually for this results in a fine.
The point i am trying to make is that this would be a easy case for GM because the OP has committed a federal crime.
guys please just google what i am saying, its really not a hard concept to understand. If i was a lawyer it would be so easy to tell the court the OP has changed a finely tuned emission control device.

It's a federal crime to "tamper" with the emissions system. And the definition of tamper is "Tampering is removing or making inoperable any system or device used to control emissions from a motor vehicle engine." I have neither removed nor made inoperable the PCV system.
Further the EPA's policy states "This policy states that the EPA will not consider any modification to a certified configuration to be a violation of federal law if there is a reasonable basis that emissions are not adversely affected" which a my catch can does not adversely affect the emissions system, if anything it improves it.
