Default shielded catch can breather filter

anyone know of any FULLY shielded filters with a 1.25" rubber mounting flange other then the k&n... the k&N's are like $68 each witch is insane for a couple small filters. i can only find half shield filters other then the k&n's
54-1020 would be the one i need

i just removed my bumper so i can mount an oil cooler and decided to clean out the 2 catch cans i have under each headlight that go to my valve covers. they are breather cans. when i dumped them out they were both filled with water/oil mix milky crap which I'm sure is from washing the car and water getting in thru the filter and the oil is from not having baffles in the valve covers. i know its not from the motor as my 3rd catch can (valley cover) is clean.

IIRC someone on here made a cover and post about it, but I don't recall the details.

yea but I'm really thinking the water is getting in there from the washing so a shielded breather my help a little.
it was also the first time I've cleaned them out since installing them a couple years ago lol, i didn't realize the bumper was so easy to get off otherwise i would of cleaned them more.

Its just oil mist. Once the mist reaches the catch can it cools and the you get the water and oil seperation + the milkshake combo. Drain it and keep driving along.
