I have not, is that suppose to increase flow/back pressure or something? Our cars have a PCV valve.

I need to look into this some more. It seems like a pointless mod.

Here's what The W Store has to say about it under TECH...

When do I need a valve cover breather?
You need a valve cover breather when the stock PCV system is blocked on your vehicle. In most cases this occurs when an intercooler is installed that does not have the two PCV holes drilled into it. Installing this on a car that has a functioning PCV system will introduce a vacuum leak and is not recommended.

Thanks for the link, I've not seen this one before. Looks like I could get into some serious financial trouble there.
