Default Before I buy ..Help

I have decided to purchase one of those 90 degree intakes for my 08 Street Glide. The one I like is manufactured by Wimmer. Wimmer makes one for the 08 with or with out the breathers. I can have the oil mist flow back through the engine like it does now to be burned off or have it go through the two breather filters. I happen to like the arrearence of the unit with the breathers on it. I don't think the maintainence would be to much and I am on top of that stuff anyway.The question is will it have a detimental effector not having the oil mist go back through the engine. Wimmer is very accomadating and has a ton of options. They even have a water proof option for the filter element.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks guys.....
