That is not the PCV valve...........it is on the drivers side. The one you are talking about I took off (it was cracked) and replaced with a chrome filter. Performance gains.......I doubt, but it does look better.

He didn't say anything about the PCV Valve.

I would say there are no performance gains whatsoever. You would be taking a closed system and opening it up by putting a crankcase filter in it's place. (Unmetered air not accounted for by the MAF Sensor is a bad thing--but at least it will look cool. )

Search. It has been discussed to death in detail more than once.
