You don't need 2 catch cans. You only need to hook up the 5/8" nipple on the drivers side valve cover. The other 2 small nipples on the secondary/ upper valve covers are for vacuum only. Little to no oil ever makes it up through the baffles in to those small valve covers. I can't believe that newb company made a catch can for 3 inputs lol.

I have, and their is no vapor. That escapes through the larger 5/8" nipple. As a matter of fact when I removed the secondary valve covers they were dry as a bone.

that wouldn't make sense because where would the oil come from when the breather covers leak, which these cars are notorious for.

I think the 5/8" line main purpose is too allow air to be drawn into the valve cover to offset the effect of vacumn from the PVC process? They are normally connected to the intake to capture the oil vapor escaping back out the hose during low rpm.

I got my catch can for $30.
Cleaned and polished the internals then added one of these. No more oil gunk back into the S/C and TB. No CEL and drives perfect with the S/C wining like a *****
