Yes, a plug at the bottom.
I have one, but not installed. It does not have any type of filter, so it will not work as well as the AMW. The oil mist can go right through and may not be 100% stopped, maybe just slowed down. I didn't like the chrome, so I sanded it down and painted it gloss black.
Looks good, but like I said, not sure on how well it works.

Ill go the parts store and get a cylindrilical filter to drop in there or some other type of filter to drop in there. For 19 bucks if it stops most of the oil or just slows it down a bit then Ill be happy. AMW is nuts trying to get 160 for their catch can. Wonder what their price hike has done for sales?

There is no way to drop anything in.
There are only 2 3/8" holes on top, 2 more on the side, and one 1/2" hole in the bottom.
It does not have a top or bottom that you can open.

Thats the same on I bought on ebay, only red. I told you I'd give it to you for free when you come in town for TG. If anyone else in the Houston area wants this pos you can have it for free as well.
