I was thinking about running dual breathers on both valve covers which would delete the pcv system.
Question, what pro's and con's in doing that?

The intent of the PCV system is to reduce crankcase pressure manifested from blow-by during the engine cycle. Engine vacuum is much more efficient at drawing these gases out of the crankcase than venting to atmosphere. This also creates a small vacuum on the crankcase that does slightly improve ring seal and power output. The final benefit is the environment. A closed PCV system recirculates the blow-by gases rather than releasing them in the atmosphere.

Thanks for the pics, is there anything in the catch can? And why no way to drain it? Just planning to take it out and pull the lid off? Looks good and like a good idea though!

Seems like a good idea, I know the mats you are talking about .. Seems a lot simpler than other peoples setups I wonder why so many people do really complicated setups?
