to stop the pressure build up in the head which stops oil coming out of your oil cap...

Breathers on catch cans are a defectable item. You can't vent any gases from the engine directly into the atmosphere without going through the cat.

the OEM positive crank case ventelation system takes care of that...

the catch can shoudl be plumbed back into the intake manifold as it is supposed to be part of an emissions system...
