Default new air intake system

I have an 07 EFI 883. The "breathers" in the cyl heads that are fed back into the carb-are done away with in many new after market systems I see-is this kosher? seems their there for a reason-probably a simple eplanation-so thanx for your patience

Chopper man nailed it. External breather venting is the way to go. Trust me, your engine will thank you for it down the road.
