it is cheap now a days, it is really not necessary to invest all the energy to make this. for $40 you can find a decent looking one on ebay. btw, you could just use some drink bottle to do it, you dont have to cut a pipe and make a can. i think he had too much time on his hand

Well at least it looks better than a bottle or can.

I saw a Sparkletts water bottle before, so comparing to the above, not too shabby.

Whats the real purpose of these if your car is N/A??

I really thought they were mainly to make your engine bay a little more flashy and for FI engine's cars.. but does it really serve a real purpose ot N/A applications???

I'm just curious..

Well it will keep blow-by oil out of your intake.
I already have some oil near the blow-by pipin'
Just a secure thing to get or a protection thingy so oil somehow don't get sucked into the intake; which wouldn't be good.

my car shot up crap load of oils into my Greddy oil catch can. i have to empty them every two weeks.

But instead of having that filter on the top wouldnt it be wise to have the top run another tube into the intake to help with pulling out the hot air from the oil vapor yet still have the oil trap? I mean I rather be sucking alittle bit of hot air rather have it built up in my heads and keep some beauty...I dont know much on these.. So someone teach me out..

What you need to know.
Yeah you can have the top thingy go back to the intake.
It up to what you want to do.

Yeah but my question is wouldnt it be safer to run it back into the intake since the sucking air from the intake will help aid in sucking the hot air out of the cams?
