Oil Catch Can

Anyone know of any other catch cans that have 2 inputs 1 output like the Arc Oil Catch Can?

I currently have the TurboXs Oil Catch Can but would like to have both sides of the valve cover going directly to the can instead of just one.

There is no need for one on the driver's side, it passes a miniscule amount of oil compared to the passenger side venting. How well does the turboxs work? How often are you emptying it and what capacity does it hold before it becomes ineffecient

Redlude.

I don't let it fill up but I do see the hose that goes from the can to the plenum get dirty with oil on the inside since it is a clear hose.

I have already changed the PCV and still the same.

Moog much more than decor if its doing its job.

Exactly a catch can is not rocket science.

Why pay $300 for such a simple thing.

But what if there is no comparable product that has all the features you are looking for (which seems to be the case here)? Your option is either the arc or some kind of custom ccan--which would obviously take some time and also some $$$.

To clean the air that goes between the crankcase and the intake manifold. You put it where your PVC goes and intake manifold.

I seen a guy do a catch can for cheaper then $300 using a air compressor filter.

I fully understand that. I was answering BayAreaRefuGz's question. I know the purpose of a catch can. I have one myself on my Vortech'd G.

I guess the answer to the op's question is no? 2 DIY catch cans one on the drivers side and one on the passenger side might be another option? Actually I'm surprised there are no knockoff's of the arc as of yet.
