The problem is making those cans fit. IMO the best solution now would be the turner motorsports can, their reverse flow baffle is the best design not only making the air flow reverse direction really forcing that oil to drop out, but it integrates grates as well for even more oil separation. The hoses also sit in a way where water doesn't pool and freeze in the winter. The MMR can imo is not the best designed the baffling is pretty poor, iirc it is just a grate on a hole. The hose design also allows water to pool imo so not the best.


So yeah make sure you not only get a can with good baffling and air flow design otherwise the oil catch can will be essentially just for show and not able to catch anything.
Funny you should mention Turner. I just picked up Turner's OCC and was going to ask if adding some Steele wool into the can would help with separation or if it's not necessary?
