lol been a long day

the hose that comes with them is rubbish, chuck it away and buy new stuff, if you mount it onto the engine you will need a better bracket as the one with it is too thin and will just snap.

are oil catch tanks universal or do you need to get a specific one to make and model? Sorry if thats a noob question lol

Universal but you can buy ones for specific cars aswel, thats usually just a special bracket to fit it to the car.

Do you guys race? A lot of high speed cornering? Is that why you want the catch tank?

Its to catch the oil vapours lol, oil doesn't start coming out your engine when you corner fast.

Lol that would be a pain if that happened and get very messy very quickly

Thanks tips.

I do realize that but generally people install catch cans with turbo applications, or high-performance race applications where excessive blow-by is a regular occurrence. I was just wondering if he raced, not trying to make a snide comment or anything.

any car with a breather pipe on the head oil gets drawn along it, most people with aftermarket filter kits notice a build up of oil where the breather pipe meets the filter. this is where warm air from the oil gets drawn too.

A oil catch tank acts as a pooling area for this oil allowing only the oil to pass not the oil and other gunk

This isn't quite right, it catchs the oil vapours that would usually go back into the engine and burnt away, but the oil catch tank catchs the oil vapours turn into a crappy liquid.

The reason for modifying the breather in the first place is to provide a cleaner supply of air for the engine.
