So on the 2010, you install this on the driver's side or passenger side of the engine? In the UPR install pics from the UPR website, its attached on the passenger side, but in both the pics in this thread, its on the drivers side.
Whats more, does anyone with a 2010 GT and a Roush M90 have a catch can installed and has pics or product recommendations? I need to get a better pic, but I dont see a lot of room to put one in there.

My UPR catch can came with a flimsy heater hose, which has been know to collapse under vacuum. I had to purchase a marine-grade fuel line hose for my install.

I spoke with JLT on the subject of oil separators for Coyote engines. You need to have one on the PVC side and if you are seeing oil on the throttle plate then you need one for the drivers side. If you don't see oil in the catch after several hundred miles, it is not working.
The plastic ones, once the level starts to rise bypass. The Steeda, UPR, JLT oil separators hold a lot and should only need to be emptied when you change the oil.
Since I have a cheap plastic one on my pvc side I am going to replace it. I am going to check and see if I need 2 or not.

All these filters contain an element inside that is supposed to catch the oil by condensation. Note: The material is important, last thing you want is to have the wire sucked into your intake!! That's why I selected this one...

After speaking with a couple of different places and people, I ended up ordering the Steeda 5.0....I don't know how much difference there is between any of them. But Steeda's looked the best and of course if it's shiny it's faster right? J/K

Moroso cut and pasted from the referenced thread "There is a steel wool type filter elimate inside but it is not steel wool"

I've said this several times now, but here it goes again. How can you have a breather on the passenger side and catch can on the drivers side? Is your catch can still plumbed to the intake manifold? If so, then you are sucking in unmetered air through the crankcase from your breather. Both sides of the crankcase are connected.
