What's everyone running these days? It's time to swap out the old Home Depot home made deal. I'm running a UPR on my 2.7 EB that seems to work descent.
Thanks,

I'm running a Bob's Motorports on the Cobra and J&L in the wife's Edge. I need to check the one in the Edge. The one in the Cobra usually has a few ounces of oil when I check it randomly. What sold me was when the engine in my 01 blew the can was full, but the intake was dry.

I run a remote catch can. My PCV is deleted. Each VC runs to the can mounted in the front bumper area.

Catches a crap ton of condensation from running E85.

Have a link to that Bob?
Thanks for the suggestions so far.
I didn't realize Lethal carries them now. I bought the bare one like this and made my own lines.

You would be correct.

I have the higher quality UPR kit. Snap fittings, billet catch can and braided hoses.

That would be fine if it was for a 03 Cobra. That says GT.

Depending on what you're thinking of you can also do an open catch can and plug the intake. That gets rid of any possibility of oil making it into the intake.

I'm going back and forth on doing that with mine.

JLT on driver side. Although, no oil accumulates on the passenger side I do have a JLT PCV PreFilter that I was going to install but cannot find the correct fitting for it.

Do you get an oil mist in that area?
I ran breathers for a few years, they were messy. Now, the catch can is down behind the fog light area, I made a bracket that attached to the rear of the crash bar. The lines are pretty long, about 6 and 8 ft. Gives the vapors time to cool and condense to get collected. It is a baffled and filtered can, I see no evidence of oil vapors.

One tip, add a 1/4 turn valve with a barb and hose out the bottom to empty it easily. Don’t want it leaking oil or condensation inside the bumper.

I reach under mine and can empty it very easily without making a mess.

I installed one of Harpell Auto Fab’s catch can last fall. Only put about 100 miles on it since install but looking forward to seeing how much it catches once driving season starts up again.
