I have the PMS filler pipe and it has the 1" breather pipe lateral on the side facing the rear of the car ,anyone run a K&N or similar breather filter in this location with good results?.
If so do you need to mount a rain shield over it ? |

I run the hose into the trunk with a catch can.
http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/part/bre...e-can-assembly/ I used to run the hose into the intake manifold like stock, but for some reason I was getting excess oil into the intake manifold which caused a smoke cloud every time I started the motor. This only occurred on cold starts. The catch can solved that problem. |

Thanks ,yea I thought that would be the case,the oil needs to be separated from the fumes and a catch can will do that,then I guess its just a case of taking the fumes away with vacuum from the intake after that?. What sort of quantity of oil collects in the can on yours,is it much?. So a catch can it is..... |
