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.
Our kit comes with enough hose to put the can basically anywhere you want, and it's the good fuel & oil certified hose. I only used probably less than half of the hose on my car.

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...

Our's will not cause you to 'have wire sucked into the intake.'

Talking

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"

What is that supposed to mean, lol

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.
