> [@HYPEville](#): > > im sure there are some out there, i have also seen people put steel wool or something similar (it wasnt as fine as steel wool) steel wool is a HORRIBLE idea. you need more of a breather system and metal baffels welded in the can not steel wool. your best bet would be a direct line to exhaust with a one way check valve or an open breather system ---

:word: race style evac… CHECK VALVE NECESSARY, and a breather on the valve cover… race style evac only works when there is ZERO backpressure, creating vaccum in the CC… breather should stay dry using this method ---

(breather)…but is necessary for when BP is preventing vaccum pull…and the CC needs to relieve pressure ---

thats a nice diy, but i don’t weld. also yours vents to atmosphere. i’d rather not do that. i’d really rather just buy a baffled one. i heard arc might be. still can’t tell and they are too pricey. i was thinking in to the intake, just before the s/c…shouldn’t that create enough vacuum? also, what do you think the max length on hose could be? i want to get it far in the front and low so it is as cool as possible for condensation. ---
