I read through their FAQ and it sounds like this should be as important as a catch can if I understood correctly. The loose metal shavings will wear away at the moving parts of your engine and transmission and eventually cause it to fail yes?

Nah most shavings come out in the first 1,000 miles. It's more of extra piece of mind whereas the catch can is a must.
