Alright,
I know its common place to remove SHO upper intakes and clean them due to sludge or oil build up. Or the block off plates made for the 5MGE Given that..
I have seen these items mentioned quite a few times is this something that would have any downsides? Would it cause a loss of lubrication if installed?

Steeda's oil separator kit reduces detonation, oil burning and deposits on the valves by removing oil drawn through the PCV system before it can contaminate the intake charge.
Excess crankcase pressure (sometimes known as "blow-by") is vented from the crankcase through the PCV system, where it is drawn into the intake manifold and returned by the engine. This re circulated air contains aerated oil from the crankcase which is burned by the engine. Supercharged, nitrous boosted and high mileage engines often draw excessive amounts of oil into the engine through the PCV system. The Steeda oil separator plugs into the PCV hose between the PCV valve and the intake manifold and removes aerated oil from the re circulated air and collects it in a tube that can be drained and recycled.
The kit includes the oil separator, connecting hoses, a mounting bracket and hardware. Instructions for installation on a '03-04 Cobra are included, but the kit can be used on any vehicle.
I have come across some made by Greddy also I do believe and some of the F150 lightning guys run them...
Yup found them on ebay also which doesnt matter or make it worthwhile but heres the link...

Your thoughts on this guys? Worthwhile or a waste?
