Catch can for what? Catch cans can be used for almost any fluid in the vehicle.

Are you referring to the PCV filter? Most people use an oil separator/filter that is used on air shop equipment.

 

[John Hickey]

yes i am refrering about the pvc. i was wondering if it would make a major difference in preforance and what else can you use it for

I use the BIG oil/water separator. It works great.
Only mod to it was removing the drain valve. It would leak and I could see bubbling in the oil it had caught. Air was being sucked in past that valve. I just unscrew the whole thing to drain it.

Home Depot, Lowes, etc. It will be in the air tool section as a air compressor accessory.

There is no need to. Use it as is. It will work fine. Just make sure you have the flow direction fine, from engine to the "IN" on the filter then out to the intake.

OK, someone do this on the 5.0 once and for all and take LOTS of pics of the install.

What are the benefits of doing this? It would be an easy/cheap mod just not sure of the results.
