My "positive crankcase ventilation" thread.

I think this would have been covered in the original post, but if you essentially vent to atmosphere through a filtered can, then you are not actually evacuating the crankcase with vacuum, therefore you will always have high levels of corrosive combustion byproducts in the engine. You'll have less efficient ring seal, slightly lower MPG efficiency, more highly contaminated oil (and all that goes with that), increased corrosion internally on most all metal parts, and more pollution into atmosphere. Basically, it's the least-best option with all of the negatives and none of the positives, other than not blowing out gaskets.
Applying vacuum to the crankcase under low-load conditions (ie 95% of an engine's life) through a PCV system is really a win in every way. The cost and weight of a properly routed catch-can and PCV system is effectively negligible. To take that cost and open-vent is almost tragically missing the point, IMHO.

No still running the MAF. I anticipate being told my setup is completely wrong.

You want a “closed loop” system that has a check valve for that type of setup not just open breathers

In your opinion what’s your go to setup?
Mines not in a V it’s in a swap.
I originally did the x2 -10 for aesthetics and the old school mentally which I have predominately come from.
The clean/dirty side stuff wigs me out.

A -10 tied into a closed loop PCV can with a check valve would be fine for that.
