just wondering are catch cans or can catch cans be designed for legal use on the roads??

yes.
Cannot vent to the atmosphere, must have a line returning the oil to circulation.
So with a filter=no
With a line at the bottom running back to engine=yes
Does that defeat the purpose of bleeding the excess pressure/vapour? sort of, but only in a worst case scenario, should still work fine.

Into the intake. Other option is run the hose over the back of motor so it "looks" like its hooked up but really just vent it next to the box etc

Im currently making one at the moment for a blown application, i want it legal so it will be a water/air/oil separator. Lines from rocker cover go into can that has internal tubes that run to the bottom of the can thats filled with stainless steel wool. A pick up at the top that runs back to intake. keeps it legal and keeps oil out of the inlet and stopping detenation.

The to pipes that run to the bottom also have a few holes drilled in so the surface area for venting id higher that just the hole at the bottom.
