Though keep in mind, if for some reason mto stops to check your car, it will be towed. You are letting all oil fumes escape into the atmosphere, it should be routed back into intake for it to be legal. Just something to keep in mind.

It's not official AEM SRI then. Official AEM SRI comes with that hole where you put the tube.

^^ "TRUST" being in capitals made me laugh.

Its honestly an easy fix, you could even get a thread in bung and just force it in with a wrench.

With the hose connected, oil vapor and crank case gases escape through that and get burned in the combustion chamber.

With it off, The gases just get released into the atmosphere. All the filter does it keep oil and debris from coming out.

There is no power difference, just more gunk going into the engine. Best thing to do is buy a catch can/make your own.

it honestly doesn't make a difference with it on or off really. But like stated above it is illegal to not have it properly done. And if it is AEM then it should have it, it must be a fake.

Yup, there is no power difference, also if your motor is healthy, there will be very minimal oil blow by. So just gases escaping. Setting up an oil catch can you will not see any oil in it. Maybe after 30k-40k km, you'll have a drop.
