There are a lot of very nice looking valve covers on the market ... The valve covers that I am using are from GMPP they will be the least expensive of the valve covers that are available...they have no holes or openings in them except for the oil fill hole on the passenger side. You could drill and tap them for some nice AN fittings if you wanted to duplicate the factory plumbing with SS lines and AN fittings..to me that was far to complicated and would still have too much clutter under the hood..I was looking to clean up all that stuff ... so I used the LS6 PVC , LS6 valley cover, and a breather and it has worked out fine for me.

What?? The idea of the PCV system is to alleviate the pressure from the crankcase. Both a PCV or a breather will take the pressure out, the dfference being that the PCV will reroute gases back into the engine to be burned. It keeps th oil cleaner.
