I checked the calender, "yep it is 2013". Back around the early seventies the engine smog control systems did rob the engine of performance, not anymore. Today's engines are designed for and operate exceptionally well with the smog control devices. Removing them will have negative effects.

a catch can is not a problem, REMOVING your PCV System is though.

Maybe your old age has diminished your reading comprehension abilities.

the OP wanted to know about removing the SYSTEM and installing a breather and that was what the discussion was about until you stuck your big nose into the middle of it. so why don't YOU just remove your whole system so we all can sit back and laugh. Don't start giving others advice about something you know nothing about. It's people like you and your mis-information that get people to do the wrong thing and then they pay the price. So Mr. jan 2013 that daddy probably bought you the car just take a Chill pill.

Read my post above, it was invented for emissions reasons. Plugging the system can cause damage, but venting it is better for the engine.

He asked about removing the system and was given advice on a catch can or a breather filter which does not REMOVE the system. Again, your reading comprehension skills are severely lacking.
No bad advice or mis-information was given.
You are the one that needs to take a chill pill, not once have you provided any shred of knowledge or documents to back up your stance that doing anything to the PCV system will "blow your motor" or my favortie "vapor lock your shiny new engine"
You are a just stubborn dinosaur.

Okay here is it is in a nut shell pressure build up can blow seals and cause oil leaks. Catch cans are great never had a problem on my street driven race cars that had the pvc intact. No loss of horse power no plus fouling of anykind oil vapors will burn. Yes you may see some carbon build up but with todays gasoline with detergents it cleans off.With a vent that has a filter on it you will smell oil fumes just my 2 cents.

Do like I did, rip all of it out including that goberment obama made fool injekshun while ur at it. I went with a nice quadrajet I got from my uncle's pickup truck. He's claiming it on insurance so it was free! No air filter either, that only causes problems.
Also you did cut out your caddillac converters too rite?

Read up before you call people crazy. No oil vapor introduced in to the intake manifold and combustion chamber are some pretty good reasons among others.
OP,
Don't just plug the PCV, you will want a breather filter or a catch can.
Breather filter will cause some oil to accumulate on the ground/engine bay, so if that is a concern then a catch can is your best bet.

All the 'expert' opinions and personal comments aside, I'd also like to know what the OP desires to accomplish by 'deleting' or 'defeating' the PCV system. In my non-expert opinion I suggest you leave the PCV system intact and operable. If oil vapors are the concern I suggest using a catch-can. I don't feel a catch-can is necessary for typical street use but I do feel a catch-can is beneficial for serious track use. FWIW my C6 is a dedicated track car which sees a lot of hard, high RPM use. I use an Elite Engineering catch-can system which I'm very happy with.

As lot of guys asking why you want to do that by your self and if you really want to remove the pcv system so do not do it by you just go to the mechanic and do it.

I want to do this because when I changed my cam in my c5, the pistons were covered with carbon/oil residue. Was pretty significant. Tuners have also done testing and found slight differences in tuning with and without.
I don't want my c6 pistons covered with crap and leading to possible detonation issues. Then really tuning to compinsate
So how would I be damaging my engine? The cranckcase is being ventilated.

Yes, I also would like to hear why the op wants to do this? Makes no sense to me as there would be so very little gained! Also, this person lives in Hawaii....what..!!?**##. You are willing to add pollution to the air in paradise. if you do, I hope you get caught by someone and slaps you with a nasty fine..!!
