Default Which catch can?

I am looking into getting a catch can. I want one that has internal filtering material..not just hollow. I have decided between these two. I sill think the Saikou Michi will work better than the AMW tho

If your looking for a catch can that works, Saikou Michi or RevXtreme.

If you purchase this can does it come with their directions for how to hook it up? I have read all the threads and done searches here but it seems everyone has their own idea of how to hook this up. Is there a definite way to hook this up to keep oil out of the intake?

Yeah I have read that post over and over again, but its so all over the place. In that post they are talking about running two cans for road racing and some people post about having the LS6 intake cover and others don't. It seems everyone thinks is different in their own way. I think I pretty much have it figured out but was just curious if the mike norris catch can comes with any instructions at all.

Do you not understand the diagrams in post # 70? Thee's only one way depending on the engine configuration.

Ok, so based on that mine would be this setup.


Now my question is how did you get the PCV valve in that location? In the stock configuration the PCV valve is in the hose right before it connects to the port on the side of the intake correct? Do you just remove it somehow or do you just buy another one?

i'm curious what you guys are using to "plug" the port on the passenger side.

i would think a 2" piece of 3/8" tubing (or whatever size it is), with a corresponding bolt pushed into the tube.

or is there something sexier
