Crankcase breather

What are you guys with aftermarket intakes using for a crankcase breather? I am having trouble finding one with the twist in thing like my current one.

Why would changing the intake necessarily mean the crankcase breather system has to be changed? It all runs off the valve cover.

Well the original had a tube that plugged into the air intake, and now it is just dangling with no filter.

Most air cleaner housings have a "knock-out" plug in the bottom where a fitting for the breather tube can be installed.

My aftermarket air filter has a delete where I can hook up the original pipe, but I haven't put it on yet. Right now, the oil cap itself has a filter in it, much like the one pictured above. It works nicely.
