I could not understand why at 5000 mile I was down 1 quart on the dip stick. Installed a catch can after a 1000 mile it was half full. I think having a catch can is a must.

Alot of guys dont understand how important it is until the first time you dump it out. It is definately an eye opener.

so for some of us who didn't get one installed until later, how can we undo the damage done without it? how can i clean the gunk that went into the intake prior to installing the catch can?

The nice ones are just too darn expensive. I need to hold out until the next 40% off sale. I have too many other mods I want at that price.

You still wanting to meet up today, or sometime this weekend?

And Antonio, alot of guys use seafoam to help clean out the motor. I always had a breather filter on my 03, so I never had to worry about the oil buildup.

I would think pulling the tube off at the can that goes to the underside of the throttle body and sucking up about 1/3 of a can of Seafoam with the tube would help. I haven't tried this though.

I ran a catch can on my Hemi Dodge Charger, and it made a HUGE difference long term with maintenance. Your engine and intake manifold will thank you.

We had 4 left as of 4pm, but have since sold all 4 of them. I have 10 more that are supposed to be here on Tuesday, so I will update the catch can thread as soon as they come in.
