This car has blow by. In the 100 miles I ran before I blew my motor both side catch cans have enough oil in them that I can hear it when I shake them.

Here's a picture of my UPR. Bought it from Lethal. Had to change the fittings to the proper size.

It works well. I captured 3 oz of blowby in 2800 miles. The hose going to the intake was dry.

Make sure you use crankcase hose. Anything else lets the pcv vapors escape through the hose. Pcv vapors smell a little like fuel.

Here's the thing...

Catch cans will still get blow by. Not a lot but still get blow by. The only way to elimiate that is to use breathers. Breathers allow oil to eventually seep out and it lands on your valve covers. So with Breather cans I get the best of both worlds. Absolutely no blow-by and no oil dripping on my cam covers.

I have eliminated my PCV system this way. Both cans have oil in them. What's that tell you about only running a can to the driver's side?

Everyone's experience has been different with their individual set up, but I know for mine it's working like planned.
