Been running the cheap parts store breathers, but the lip is tearing up the rubber grommets when I pull them out. Do they make screw in breathers that will fit? or do I need to remove the grommets and buy a screw in adapter for the filters?

I ran K&N push in breathers for a few years. Never had any issues with them destroying the grommets. I think the shaft part was smooth without a bulge at the end.
I got sick of the oil mist on the valve covers. I went with push-in to -10 AN 90's. I run AN lines to a vented catch can mounted in the front bumper area.

Get the real deal bro.... I have two of these. Comes with drain hose.
I do have the CFM breather cap in addition to the other breathers.
I have the K&N on mine for a breather. Had on it there for 6 years no issues so far.
Did you run one on each valve cover or do you have 1 on 2 different cars?

I originally had one..... But needed two. U can run two hoes from each valve cover to one can but imo its just better to have two so the engine can breath better.
Its a pretty clean instal this is with one catch can I now have two. Its just a hose to the valve cover.
Some set ups are too busy I agree but this is relatively small and deep. Holds a fair amount of fluid and its easy to drain with the supplied hose and petcock attached to it for easy release of fluids.

2 hoes is enough for me.
I was going to say not everyone can afford two hoes.
I've been using these for the last 3 years. Never had a issue with them and never no oil residue or misting out of these. Love' em!

Valve Cover Breathers - CFM Performance
You guys running breathers, one or both sides?
I'm using the Shelby GT500 Single Valve Oil Catch Can CSS kit from UPR. (Best Catch Can on the market IMO). The driver side is basically a breather. So my setup consists of breathers on both sides. CFM breather is on the other side where the oil cap was in the valve cover. No residual oil issues what so ever!

I have a UPR on my 150, works good. I can't find one for the Cobra.
When I had my 2014 CTS V Coupe UPR didn't have a standard kit that they sold. But they were able to make a kit up for me out of gm kits that they did sell. You should give them a call and tell them what you need and want. I'm 99% sure they can put something together for you.
