It's really easy to make your own bracket. You'd have to no matter which can you get. Even if you bought this $500 AAM one.

Edit:
My Elite Engineering can is mounted behind the engine on the passenger side.

Gotcha sounds like that is what I'll be doing.

I just ordered the Mishimoto can. $243 at Summit Racing.

Wow I need to get on making these and becoming a vender. I have $12 in parts for each one. I'd make a killing at $100-200 because I'd sell so many for all cars.

And the quality and R&D of a Mishimoto is equal to your setup?

Best internal functional design in my humble opinion. Read why before flaming.

I would have bought theirs but I emailed them and got no response.

PS made this in about 10 minutes for a Hemi with stuff just laying in my garage. even junk setup correctly can beat any $200-$500 Can any day of the week.

as for R&D, here is a first quick prototype i installed on a Ram Hemi (the oil consumption motor of the world!!!) at about 1000 miles on this oil dump, 3000 miles total on the AOS.

as you can see, tons of oil on the inside of the main chamber, on the outside of the second chamber, yet the outlet and the outlet hose are so bone dry you could eat off of them!! i promise promise promise a catch can will let a lot of oil back out the Can and your hose will be covered. i only made this Can because a regular Can on my WRX and dual regular Cans were letting oil back out. how do i know? clear hoses my friend.

if you want 100% oil free intake with a regular Can you have to vent to atmos like i did with the dual Cans. however its illegal for track use since that is a direct line for your valve cover vents and crank vent to blow oil all over the track. for normall DD and stuff its fine.

for referance what the hoses used to look like

Thanks spohn. Like I said though I have to thank Crawford though for the idea. Pretty much why I don't sell them. Not enough time and I don't wanna be a thief even though they kinda are selling at $500 each for theirs.

You should really ask if the R&D of his is equal to the company Mishimoto copied. ;)

I'd run a two Crawford AOS setup if my wallet could handle it. Since that's a lit of coin, I'll go with the Sakou Michi. I can't find it now, but I've seen a breakdown of the internal baffling and it looks to be acceptable.

synolimit 06-12-2013 11:39 AM

Do we have 4 valve cover vents? The two on the front on the mani are obvious but what are the back 2 that run to the inlet tubes? Where is the PCV valve?
