Not if you spray it matt black and mount it out of sight like I did LOL

Worth it if you're worried about oil contamination in your intake. Even if they're not overfilled with oil, they tend to blow a lot out of the crankcase breather - better to catch it and drain it every now and again rather than just let it go through with the intake charge.

just checking. can i diy it by just diverting all the breathers into one chamber. i presume it would also need a vent and have good access to enable emptying?
