Where does the breather goes to? It's not going into the valve cover.

the breather you see in my pic is on the evap canister. there is also a crankcase breather tube on my car that goes to the intake tube just before the throttle body, but i'm not sure you can see that in my pics. sorry i didn't clarify in my previous post.

If you're talking about venting the crankcase with a breather- don't. You'll be better off with a functional PCV system than with a breather on the valve cover- plus you really shouldn't just plop one on without disabling PCV (otherwise your engine will be able to suck in unmetered outside air).
