    I have a "Y" connector. Both side into the Y, then into the bottom. Breather on top.

    A little heads up for those who are running the stainless steel hoses...I found that the SS hoses will start to chaffe if they are rubbing on something abrasive...I installed the hose seperators and haven't had any issues since..!! Worth the $20 to keep the CEL's at bay...!!

    After reading through most of this thread, I have some ideas and comments for those considering this mod:

    I'm old as dirt, and remember BITD the popular mod was a Top Oiler. This was a bottle with an adjustable drip flow, piped into a vaccuum fitting below the carburetor. It's purpose was to introduce an oil vapor to the valves, thereby prolonging the life of said valves. A side effect was said to increase the octane of the fuel. A large side effect was the actual lightening of the owners wallet by the cost of the device and the oil it consumed.

    That Top Oiler did have a small benefit, but today that benefit and more can be had by the introduction of an additive to the fuel tank, which may be MMO or Stabyl Marine, or even just motor oil. This, due to the government mandate of oxygenated fuel, mainly in the form of Ethanol, which by nature attracts water condensation in the fuel tank, which is detrimental to the entire system. Granted, modern systems are less vulnerable to the effects of water, and additives in general are not advised by the manufacturers of fuel, motor oil, or auto manufacturers.

    Those are the benefits of a Top Oiler, which are just as cute an installation as the Oil Catch Can described in this thread. A google search will turn up pictures and manufacturers of the device, still available today.

    Conjecture now, regarding the effects of having a Top Oiler as opposed to the opposite, a Catch Can:

    Both will lighten the wallet significantly.
    Niether will significantly effect fuel octane.
    Niether will significantly effect carbonization of the cylinder of spark plugs.
    The Top oiler MAY shorten the life of the Catalitic Converter.
    The Catch Can MAY extend the life of the Catalitic Converter.

    There you have it, my thoughts and opinions on the Catch Can, and the opposite device, a Top Oiler. Your call, which, if either will be your next mod.

    I have a 2014 V6 with the SC. What would this contraption do besides catch oil that would go back into the intake. Is that bad?

    Please inform this noob fool why it's good to have.

    keeps the intake tract clean
    keeps your fuel octane from being diluted with the oil mist
    if supercharged, keeps oil off the intercooler.

    Noob, you're certainly not a fool for asking questions. I'm the fool for going against so many that think it's a fine way to spend their money. I think it's hogwash:
    Your intake tract won't get dirty.
    Your fuel octane won't suffer one way or the other.
    As for a supercharger, I take the fifth, as I have no idea on that one, but just perhaps that is the single valid reason to have this device. Or not?

    Ahhh I see. Well they do sell that wrinkle finish paint. I believe it is VHT that makes it. I did it on my integra valve back in the day for the red wrinkle finish look back in the day. :spy: Came pretty close to OEM as long as you let it dry and add thin layers.
