Want to correct this statement, this is ONLY the case for the vented, breathers, or other cans/tanks that defeat the functions of the PCV system. ALL Elite Engineering systems are Emissions compliant and have zero negative effect on the PCV system and also reduce tail-pipe emissions. This again falls into what can and cannot legally void the warranty. So many "snake oil" varieties are being sold on EBay and from vendors that defeat or delete the PCV system and/or it's functions, and those DO give grounds to void as they reduce engine life and some cause engine damage over time as well as being illegal in all 50 States to use on the street. ONLY CA do we not have the CA specific CARB cert yet, but federally we comply by retaining a cloesd system that does not reduce any of the PCV systems functions, in fact ours enhance the factory PCV system if you get the E2-X dual valve or the E2 and utilize the dual outlets properly with the proper check valves.
