So, what I was saying is long runs of tubing and right angle turns create a significant amount of back pressure once the obvious restrictions are minimized.

Your blow by meter is fantastic. Boy would that have stemmed a few stale arguments around here some years back...

I'll eventually get around to buying a printer, though I'm kind of waiting for the next gen.

What you're saying re: right angles is interesting. Would that make this unit:

less efficient than the unit posted below?

I've had this one in my Amazon cart for awhile. Next step in slowing down the rate at which the truck marks it's spot in the shop. I'll be watching this thread with interest.

Had eyes on this one this morning...

I forget the rule of physics that governs flow speed as a function of bandwidth -so I may be off the mark here- but I was hoping to find a catch can with 1/2" barbs to approximate the OEM breather dimensions.

Here's one that even has a dipstick and breather!
