The ticket is $375ish since it has to do with emissions equipment. Do not install the breather, no where near the benefit.

breathers are meant to keep oil vapours out of the intake charge cuz oil vapours reduce the octane rating in the incoming charge that could result in detonation on highly tuned cars. but since you're asking this question, I'm gonna assume you don't have a highly tuned car, and I'll recommend you leave the damn thing alone.
