Because they open up your closed crankcase ventilation system so engine pollutants can escape untreated to the atmosphere. That defeats the operation of your vehicle emissions controls.

And the fine should have been closer to $400. Count your blessings.

I was given a summons to court, with the possiblity of a $500 fine. You're very lucky.

It does nothing to improve performance on today's cars. The only purpose it serves is as eye-candy.

there is no purpose to this. you will probably GAIN power (however insignifcant it may be) by providing a vacuum on your crankcase by leaving it like factory, connected to the intake.

its an emmissions related component and the filter is basically venting blow by vapour to the atmosphere. Your better off with just a catch can anyways.
