Default Breather cap

ive looked at autozone and all over and found one on some of the websites but where can i get a breather filter that screws right into the oil filler cap??? i have one on now but its the full metal one with holes at the bottom that you can get at autozone. I want the kind that is a wrap around filter and screws right in no problem.

Why not just drill a one inch hole in the top of you oil fill cap and use a push in style breather with some rtv to hold it in place?

LS1speed has JUST what you want.. I just got mine. They have the helix to mount to your valve cover..

Down towards the bottom..

I hope you fellas know that if you have a near stock LS-1 & install one of these breathers you will screw up Chevy's closed system & cause a loss of acceleration~gas mileage~vacuum ie , performance.
