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.



Thanks for the response makes me feel better about not being rash and buying two catch cans at once.

And you did this how? The 370z system is hooked to the inlets. You'd have a massive vacuum leak. Also you might want to rethink that statement. Hard cornering and fast driving with dumping to the ground on other cars I've been able to dump an *** load of oil out in hard G turns. Its not good when your tires, wheels and rotors are soaked in oil.

LOL! The valve covers are baffled. IF u got this much oil puking out your valve covers, then u got bigger problems... I plugged the holes on my accordian tubes w/pipe plugs, no vac leax there!

He was talking about a flat 4. Lots of guys have had that problem since high gs keep the oil trapped in the head, and it comes out the breather.
