I'd have to look. The couple of FI guys running catch cans that I've seen in person opted to use two cans. Plus, there's a easy place to put one on either side without running hose all over the engine bay. It just looks sloppy, and I'm OCD enough about the engine bay that it would really irk me.

I'll try to find the diagram. I remember a crank vent being mentioned, but I barely remember what I had for breakfast, much less a picture I saw months ago.

Run one can and T tape the lines in a orderly fashion. IMO If you mount the can the the middle of the front section of the motor the lines will be perfect equal length. And the color is is important. Like black.

I'd want to use clear hose for the outlets at the very least.

Although now that I think about that, that's impossible. The crank vents always get the PCV, not the valve cover. So the inlet tube hoses are the valve vents and the PCV vented hoses are the crank vents. I don't think I'd run it like this though. I'd want the cranks by themselves and the valves by themselves.

That looks like it. Good find.

Confirmed this via vacuum testing the engine while running and monitoring the MAF voltages... The manifold vacuum draws air from the intake pipes, through the heads and crankcase and out the forward nipples. Cans are only needed after the air exits the forward nipples. |

And on topic, that catch can is beautiful and completely over-engineered/bling item. No way in hell I'd pay $500.
Hey Andrew, we should go into business making catch cans. |

What affect does it have when you "Y" the inlet and outlet tubing? Or should you run two catch cans? the only can I have seen that has 2 inlets and 2 outlets is the ARC can.
I am worried that the joining of the two intakes will effect how the throttlebody on each side works by changing the return pressure or am I just smoking crack?

The valve covers come into the AOS bottom, there is internal baffling, then the top Y's off going to each port on the mani. The bottom is the drain hose. Again zero issues and collects a good amount every 1000 miles when I drain. The return hoses are also bone Fing dry I also cut my can in half and join it with a coupling so when I really want to clean it, I just pull it apart.
