It can't hurt. Basically it catches all the oil vapors that the PCV system shoots into your intake. Check Accurate Machine Works ------------------------>

they're a sponsor and I love their catch can.

This is a dumb question but if you install this, will it change how the car runs...i mean will it be taking in anymore or less air? Is it a difficult install?

I'm going to do this. The other week I found oil on all my plugs. I'm hoping it's from the shiny new PCV I just put in there. I'm going to check the compression just in case. I'd be a little concerned since it's only one cylinder.
