So i re inbstalled my catch can, works awesome.. as I was looking I noticed that what was the point of the catch can if i STILL got the pvc system going to the intake elbow.. so i did what my friend rudy did and placed a breather then blocked the elbow. Did my regular maintenance, oil change and air filter change. Maybe I had a clogged air element but wow i can feel it pull just a tiny bit more. Even my gf asked if i had done something to it. odd huh.. I guess the benefit is less hot air going to the intake ? maybe its just us and it didnt do anything?

The PVC vent to the intake is to help supply vacuum to the oil system.
