Default Catch Can alternative

Couple years ago, someone posted pics of an oil catch can delete or no longer needed. Some work around. I did it and wondering if this is better than catch can or whatever.. I think this way the oil gets dirty faster. But eliminates the oil in the intake manifold completely.

Filter on crankcase and cap up manifold.

comments please.

I tried that before on my ls3 corvette. The car only picked up .06 in the quarter mile. A really bad smell was coming from that little stainless steel filter. It also started blowing or (pushing) out the rear engine seal. I quickly returned it back to the air an oil separator catch can.
