I can't see this working at all. Unless there's 2 more lines that we don't see in the picture - one to vent, one to vacuum.

Now the ones I had did not have any medians inside. Maybe the ones with baffles and material inside to help trap oil might cause the restrictions. But from the way you were comming at this was as if all catch cans are useless.

Sorry man didnt mean to come off that way. Just trying to prove a point

This one is only $33 shipped and it looks like it has a removable cover. If you want to send me a PM in a week or so I will let you know because I just bought one.
