Yeah, it will work like that. The valve is held closed by spring pressure not gravity - so it will work in any direction.
It might start getting sticky sooner than if mounted vertically. But if it does, just flush it with some carb cleaner every couple of years.

Usually a "breather" like that with a nipple on it is a PCV valve that just looks like a breather. You might have two PCV valves right now.
And it won't hurt at all to have it sideways, that's how GM did on some of the 90's cars.

I thought it was an integrated PCV when I ordered it but it's hollow. I figured it would look cool. I've never done bling before so I'm doing it this time.
Thanks for the replies.
