anybody else running breather filters on their valve covers??. i did them yesterday and im getting a small smell of fumes in the cabin when i get off the highway. realizing a catch can was most likely the better option to go but like i said i have the breathers for now. if anyone has done this is there a place to move them where it wont allow fumes into the cabin?

No there isn't, this is why most go with catch cans then breathers.

If you run breathers, even if you run them to a catch can that is open, you will get the oil smell. I have both sides run to a big catch can with a breather and I get the oil smell.
