you could plumb something down inside of the fender well or under the headlight, that would be lot of tubing though.

It'd be a pain in the *** to drain though.

No, you just have to crawl under the front of the car, and remove 3 bolts if you put it there. I'll keep mine where it's easily accessible in the engine bay.

Here is my AMW catch can with the bracket attached to the head. I got my AMW when they were only 80 bucks. Nice piece but I doubt I'd pay today's price for this can.

I had a Holley and I found it was letting too much dirt in. 3 weeks after install I noticed small amounts of dirt on the inside of my lid. I also read extensively that there is no performance advantage to the K&N or the Holley and I've also read about problems with getting the filter oil on the MAF. You can still see the Holley sticker on that lower airbox piece. For all those reasons I went back to a paper filter 2 years ago.

I don't understand your setup kyle. Aren't you just running a line from each valve cover to each side of the catch can? Why not just run two breathers.

To remove the oil that is passed, as vapor, through the PCV system into the intake. Oil in the intake can cause knock and ping. I just drained my AMW Catchcan and there was ~2 cups of oil in it. This would have been consumed by the car normally.

So why spend money on a catch can when you can get two breathers for it. Or is it more for looks?
