Default For anyone looking for a PCV catch can inside.

I highly recommend the AMW catch can. Its better quality than any Ive seen and Ive been looking for a while. Especially when compared to the Greddy one which is nothing but a fancy box. Heres some pics of the insides and the size. I thought it was bigger than it was

Now why would you say this one is "better" than the greddy catch can??

Because the greddy has "also" proven to be very good. (its ok be just as good, but why is it "Better")

The Greddy is nothing but a pretty hollow box with 2 fittings on the lid. You can make that with a empty paint can This piece has more to prevent the oil from returning to the PCV system.

Like what??? the baffling inside looks nice but technically wont make a bit of difference. So why would this prevent it better?

If youre already a pessimist (sp?!) about it, its hard to explain. The baffling material is there for the tiny oil particals to collect on and then as enough collects, its drips into the bottom where as if you dont have anything (greddy) the oil stays in the tint droplets that are in the air and it goes in and then right back out via the air. The greddy would probably be good for the big drops of oil as it would fall into the bottom from gravity.

ok, ok..it's like this. i've had both in my hands and there's no comparo in quality. if your gonna spend $80 get the best..."Accurate Machine Works" BTW, when you talk with Todd he know the product and will spend time explaining his design. great guy.

C4VetteLS1, I think if you take a good look at the pictures Country Boy has you'll understand why the ones who have the Accurate can think it's the best on the market, at one time I thought the Greddy can was the thing to have but that was before the Accurate can came out. In my opinon there's no comparsion between the two, Accurate wins hands down.
