I just installed it in the Spring this year, and I've only checked it once since then (not my daily driver, so it doesn't get that many miles). It did have some in the can after maybe 250-300 miles or so.

One small thing I did run into with my can... the screw in the bottom of the can didn't have a water (oil) proof seal. There was a slow leak (not visible... could only tell by wiping the bottom of the can) and oil would burn off of my driver side header, creating a bit of smoke. I wrapped the screw in some Teflon tape and that fixed it.

I will have to check the screw on the bottom as time goes on. I also just put a UPR catch can on my new 2014 GT the same day so I will have to keep an eye on it as well.

The 07 GT is my fiancée's car and it doesn't get driven much either. She only has 15,300 miles on it and she bought it in March of 2010 with 6,900 miles on it.

Her car has been smoking on start-up after the car sits between the times she drives it and is why I wanted to install one of these. Hopefully the catch can will stop that issue. Thanks again for the help.
