looking for air breather replacement ideas

I have removed some of the breathers on my fleet but not really happy with the mods I have. Any ideas? Please include filter numbers and how you vented the crankcase back to return. Thx

I built a catch can and vented the "clean" vapors back to the intake and the condensed oil to the crank case. Here's a link

Built a Catch Can



One option to consider.

I think most people who remove the stock setup just vent to underneath the car via a tube. Unless you have serious blowby it's not a big deal
