Crankcase filters are useless, theyre there for looks. No performance, and no sound. Within the crankcase, what you want is vacuum. If you remove that line that connects the intake to the valve cover, and replace them with filters, you're losing your vacuum source within the crankcase.
The only way they can be effective is on a turbo'd motor where there's no intake pipe to run a line to.
