Intake piping questions

Even then, i (personally) believe that the vacuum/breather system built by
the OEM is a highly stable system and should be kept that way.

Instead of just capping those hoses off with a small K&N filter thingie, i
would route them all into a catch can (for the blow-by oil to collect) and
then route through a filter back into the intake pipe through one hose
(blocking off the rest).

Granted i haven't tried this in practice yet, but it looks to be a good
design.

Intake piping questions

I've heard of this catch can thing.....however I'm still a little unclear on how the catch can is setup...... Any pictures or more info.

If I can route everything back into the intake I would rather do this.....is there a way to do this with the PCV as well....that one is the big culprit for blowing oil and junk back into the intake.

Thanks

josh
