i want to put one on... just b/c the hose to put it on runs from one side of the engine all the way to the opposite side of the engine bay to the air intake... might as well get something to shorten it up

pointless at this time, unless your revving REALLY high. catch cans are only usefull when your going high enough in the rpm's to actually put oil into the pcv system, and not oil vapers (like we do stock)

now, in the future after rev limiter increses and whatnot, probobly not a bad idea, but a waste of money at this point.

Better to do it now to avoid a problem then to fix the problem when it appears. And they look pretty

I've been looking to get one soon. I am definitely getting engine oil coming through the tube into the intake. The first time I removed the stock intake tube, it was coated with oil on the inside and some on the MAF, too.

Am I the only one with this problem?
