So the steel wool actually works? I've been thinking about using an afterment coolant overflow and stuffing it with the stainless steel wool. Have you thought about using clear tubes so you can actually see it work? That's what I do on my current set-up. Over time the tube in starts to brown up and the tube out stays clear for much longer. Eventually, the tube out with start to get brown, but I guess DIY catch cans can't be 100% efficient. I don't think ANY catch can is 100% efficent, but better something than nothing!

Ohh, I thought it was the same thing as stainless steel wool. I know the regular steel wool is really thin. I'm thinking of the same stuff, just calling it by a different name. My mom has some for washing dishes

Hokiruu, thank you for this DIY, your pictures were very helpful too. the whole PCV side thing screwed me up! I completely understand how the other side that connects to the intake works... but where does the PCV side connect to? anyone got any pics or a diagram?
thank you

Thank you, you've been very helpful! i just took a look at it and i see the PCV.. it looks like a PITA to get to. should i do a catch can for each? or which one would be better to get to first?
