I run the Monster RX with their 1LE style breather. Priced okay but took longer than wanted to receive. It works great however and that's all I cared about.

don't want to speak for him but I asked MM about buying one this week and he is currently out stock and not taking new orders as he is working with a new distributor. I can wait as my build won't be ready for a bit.

I also was in contact with MM and he mentioned the same thing. I guess we will have to wait awhile I guess.

nothing would please me more than to be able to get you guys covered. I got an all new prototype pic posted on my facebook that shows promise, but it will need at least one more revision already to work how i want.

the company i used to get my cylinders from is no longer an option so i am in freak out mode lol. i pride myself in turning a custom can around in less than a week normally, so this kills me, and being a consumer myself id rather just have people ask for refunds, but no one yet is willing to take one (which is the hugest of compliments!!!) thanks for your support.

if there is any concern of posting about this on the site, they are available through several forum sponsors so its all good!

This will allow you to remove the stock pcv system correct? This is a pcv can and not just a catch can right? I know if it's from MM its Nop Notch!

there is a document on my site (sig) explaining the connections, you can use some of the original ports on the valve covers, and some of the original hose if you like, or you can replace/ streamline it... but the one to the far right pictured (pcv can) includes its own pcv valve which is 'boost proof' so the stock pcv valve and or an additional check valve is not used.

Thinking about getting the PCV catch can, what size fittings would I want to use? Car doesnt currently have a catch can if that matters.

if you are on a basic set up then doing the -6 pcv would get you where you want to be. I have hose adapters for 15 ea shipped with can if you dont have a speed shop near.

for the most part up to you and how much power you want to make, obviously if your hardware changes (aftermarket valve covers may come with specific fittings etc) then you should match it.

I also have an oil fill adapter so you can run the larger -8 or 10 line off of the stock valve cover without cutting it up, and reversible.
