Default New fabricated valve covers

What do you guys think of these fabricated valve covers I had made. I had them include a -10AN fitting on each to run to a catch can/breather and also custom coil brackets. The quality of these are awesome!! Just seeing what everyone thinks as I told the builder I'd give him feedback .

Looks great there are no bafles though? I would think they would be able to weld in a few pieces of metal to deflect some of the oil flying around at high RPM's etc..

No I had to baffles added as Im going to be running these to a catch can to vent so I didn't see the need (plus clearance may be an issue since I'm running jesel's). These do look very similar to the ones Nate carries, but can't say for sure as I dont know who fabricates the ones Nate carries.

I don't get the point of a catch can. Just put some breathers on there and eliminate the possibility of oil even going into the intake to begin with. If I'm wrong, school me .

Thanks . The point of the catch can is that I have run just breathers before and on high G corning oil would actually come out of the breathers and run down onto the headers, etc.

Also, without a PCV system, you don't got the proper crankcase vacuum for ring seat, etc. Breathers just don't match that.
