As for my catch can, I bought a Moroso air/oil separator and sourced my own plumbing. Works like a charm.

What hose did you use for yours? The only hose I could find around here, that wouldn't collapse under vacuum, has a huge outside diameter.

Be sure to use hose that's compatible with oil such as fuel hose; standard vacuum hose will soften and deteriorate in a PCV application.

From the website it looks like yours uses a compressed air filter media. Which filter does it use so I know what to get for future replacements?

For just the cylinder: 2 1/2" tall, ~6 1/2" in circumference, and 2 7/8" in diameter.

I honestly can't remember offhand. It was the stuff chevykiller recommended in that thousand page catch can thread a few years back. Steel braided and structurally won't expand or collapse. Good stuff.

I went with the JLT and after reading this thread, was worried it wouldn't catch anything. But after 300 miles, I have a couple of spoons of oil in the can. I'll watch it closely.
I liked the way the JLT came with factory style hoses and looks stock. I went with the black one.

I went with the UPR and it seems to be doing a great job so far. Gives me a custom look under the hood too. Oil showing after 200 miles....will take a pic when its more full!

Good move. Our catch can works well, and we don't have any issues with the fittings since our can has a rigid mount.

I just emptied my UPR catch can after 4,000 miles and it was 3/4 full! I couldn't imagine having a smaller catch can like the JLT one... I empty mine at every oild change.

You're killing me! I need to check mine tomorrow. I haven't checked it for a month or two...
