Default Catch Can..Made My Own.
well it was too cold and rainy today to put my intake on so i decided to make a catch can..i just got 6 inches of 2 inch oil field line pipe, capped both ends drilled a hole on the top and bottom and on each side..made some baffling just above the holes on each side and machined it down on my lathe..will get some pics once i get home..the clear coat turned out a little cloudy....but oh well if it works, it works and if it don,t it dont..it didnt cost me anything

It catches the oil that would normally be sucked into the intake by the pcv system.
