Here is what I have (courtesy of fperra). This is actually a picture of his.

Mine sees 7.5psi of positive pressure. I'd just rather have threaded fittings than grommets. I really think threaded bungs and hose barbs would be more durable in the long run.

BTW, with this can, you really don't even need a baffle, since the outlet is recessed at the top, in the center, and it is not "in the line of sight" of the inlet. It also has a quick release drain valve at the bottom.

I got this from fperra, so I don't even know who makes it.

I mounted mine on the H beam in front of the engine, since I have an AEM.

If you are pressurizing your catch can, then maybe you should put a PCV valve between the IM and catch can, so that it doesn't see any pressure.

I'm seeing 9 psi of positive pressure, but it never gets to the catch because there is a KrankVent between the catch can and the intake manifold. I would never rely on the PCV valve to block positive pressure.

The PCV valve wont work as a one way check valve, like a KrankVent will.

FYI, I don't know why, but I can't seem to keep a KrankVent from not breaking. I've gone through two of the ones that go in the intake manifold... The first time, I had the large one backwards that goes to the air cleaner (just thinking that was typically an inlet). So, that could have caused the other to fail. The second time it was connected properly, but still went bad... So, who knows. After the second install it worked as expected and producing vacum in the engine, but then the one failed.

Anyways, not trying to sidetrack the thread into a krankvent discussion...
