Valve cover breathers

I've seen the ones people get with the two valve covers tied together with a breather for the two in between them. I was wondering if anyone has made their own or has even thought about it. I've been thinking about it and drawing it out and have come up with an idea but want to see what anyone else has done. After I see a few or hear a couple ideas, maybe I will present mine for judging.

I drilled a hole in one of my valve covers and put a push in style breather in it.

Well I was thinking of welding aluminum boxes on top of two of the valve covers to tie them together and putting a K&N push in breather. If I can get the pics of what I drew on the computer I will.

I kinda figured you were looking for something a little more high tech.
