Default Will a remote filter mount with oil filter work as a catch can ????

How about using a remote oil filter mount with oil filter
as a PVC catch can ???

All the PVC air would go thru the filter, with the filter
'holding' all the crap.

Cheap $3 filters that you would change a couple of
times a year ???

Hmmm ok, I just hacksawed the end off a new Fram to
see, & you are right. Now I know how to mod the filter.

I just have to drill, at an angle, thru the outer ring of
holes, to the center of the filter. Lots of breathing
area now.

So instead of a big empty greddy can. I have a big can
full of filter material to suck up the PVC crap.

$12 for the filter mount.
$3 for a cheap filter.
5 minutes to mod the filter.
Easy twist on & off by hand to check & change.

I think I'll give it a try....
