Four chromies are alot cheaper, no arguments there and probably breath about the same. I guess this is a mod for people that care more about astetics, looking stock, and dont like the oily residue all over the engine.
where do you think they're breathing from?

it's not like there's a big gaping open galley between the valve cover and the crank case... there are a couple pushrod holes... per valve cover. my chrome breathers have 5/8" hose fittings on them. I don't plan on having any residue on the engine.

trust me, I really like the OEM look, but I'm not spending over $200 on that... like I said, I've spent a LOT of money on minor asthetic stuff... black powdercoat wheels, building a 6" tailpipe out of aluminized tubing because I don't like chrome exhaust, etc. nothing most people would care about or even notice, and I really like how those Cummins valve covers look... but something in me can't justify it, and I can justify darn near anything to myself if I want! LOL

I agree
