I just emptied out about 1/2 ounce of oil out. It had been about six months since the last time still working. I think this is a mod that everyone needs.

Everyone who drives the car at least. Those who just have it sitting in the garage might not want one.

Just did an oil change and tipped out a good tablespoon of oil.

Really simple mod and I'm glad that stuff is not going into my intake.

I disagree, even for those Vettes that just sit in the garage can benefit... the color matched/co-ordinated anodized ones look good in the engine compartment, for those that want to just admire their car rather than drive it.
