I plan on plugging mine into one of these:

But I do have a question, does anything go into the small end?
I've never seen anything on that side, is it just an air outlet?

My spark arrestor is a metal one unlike your plastic one,I can see it has had a hose on the small end @ some stage but wasn't there when I bought the engine.
The Porsche PET shows no rear view of the air cleaner so I don't know,i guess someone could chime it with this info (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .
At that point there is vacuum so I guess it would serve to draw off fuses after the oil mist has been contained in the catch can.

I've had no luck with the K+N on our 2.0 type 4 club racer, the oil residue exits the filter and douses the engine bay with oil. This is only on the sustained high speeds + high rpms at the track. Now I have just ducted back into my cold air filter tube, just before the large cone air filter.
Problem solved.
On my six (pictured below) I just tig welded an aluminum catch can, with a vent and drain nipple underneath. Just check it occasionally. Attached Image

I made one for my last 6 .it was a piece of 2" aluminium tubing with a bottom welded on with a fitting on top for a small k&n filter with a hose fitting on the side.. I attached it to the fan housing opposite of the coil.. It worked great..

I should make a bunch of them


Great idea, I'd be in for one. Don't want to spend $100 for a fancy looking one. I've been searching for a cheaper alternative.

I will look and see what I have for material.. I could probably make one for $ 50 but not. Sure what filter I would use?

It lacks the one off cool factor of a welded piece or a drink bottle with a hole in it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've seen the filter for sale separately...sell without with the proper threaded hole on top. Then buyer just add the filter.

Decent read if you're in the market for a catch can.

There should be lots that should ship to Sweden for cheap.

This one is only 35 shipping

Hard for me to search cheapest including shipping to Sweden..

The small tube on the factory air filter housing goes to a tube with a rubber fish mouth drain and just drains to the ground.
