It's illegal...according to emission standards. Basically you cannot modify anything PCV wise, and the catchcan is doing just that. Some smog shops probably won't care, some may ask you to put everything back to stock. I'm sure officers might give you **** about it too.

OK, I'll bite... Why the heck would this be illegal? You're capturing blowby oil and reusing it, rather than burning it... You're STILL not releasing the oil fumes into the atmosphere, so... what's the problem?
I would think that even in Cali-EPA-fornia, it would not only be legal, but perhaps even preferable.
Someone help me out here...
