Anyone install a catch can in their G?
In my previous vehicles I have usually installed a catch can. Did a search and it seems like mostly c-class owners are using them but not really anyone talking about them in G's. Is there a reason for that? Also, it sounds like a specific one (Weistec) is the preferred one and some are using ADD W1? I was always under the impression that a catch can is a catch can

What is a "catch can"? What does it do? Never heard of one.

A catch can "catches" everything coming out of the PCV valve so that it does not gather in the intake manifold. I'll take your initial answer as a no though lol. I'm curious since other sections like c-class seem to be using them
