now, I don't personally like the looks, but it could be painted and hidden some. Guys on the G8 page are doing them for around $20 bucks or so.

all those things are just air to oil/water separators. I run one on my compressor when I paint and use air tools. small kobalt one is 13 bucks
you could just make some out of tubing too, get a short piece of pipe with threads on both ends, install caps on both ends and tap them for whatever fitting you want to run to the intake/valve cover. have air come in the bottom and out the top and fill with steel wool
yeah, I knew what they were, I'm just asking if anyone else has made one? Just getting a worthy topic going with good discussion
Personally, I'd rather not have a billet style, but for the cost, and functionality, this seems worth it.

u can run those..but a lot of the reviews say the bowls leak/crack and cause vacuum leaks. You also have to replace those O-rings...or I should say, I would replace those orings with vitons. Was just a safer bet to pay lil extra for the mike Norris than risk $40-50 on something that might break or not work at all.
yep, the bowls, especially on the small one, isnt made to handle extreme heat changes as well as vibrations from driving.
A fee guys have reported a few years running them which is why I decided to humor trying one. Some replace the bottom trap with a nut and bolt with a new oring.
The plastic housings are what bother me though. God speed has bad reviews.

yea, idk what the pressure is in the pcv system, but that bottom valve doesnt close till a certain psi, i think around 15-20 or so
I considered it...but dnw the fucking thing breaking and dealing with a leak on the side of the road. Do et and let us know
PO had one on my Cobra when I bought it. Was essentially a small separator for like a small compressor. I never liked it, looked shitty, and it never captured any oil. I tried to just put in a PCV and new hose, and the car wouldn't run right. Just threw it back on.
Apparently I don't have any good pics, but you can kinda see it on the right side of my intake, the black box with the canister under it.

I think I've talked myself out of it. I am cheap, and like diy, but the looks and possible leak isn't enough. I'll keep my eye on this and other threads as well as deals on a billet can.
Thank guys

I like the idea of them, but it seems some cars benefit from them while for others it's a waste of time, effort, and money. My suggestion would be to check the TB every oil change/every other to decide if you need one. I know our trucks (idk about your G8) put some oil back into the intake, but I looked into the TB of my old truck for the first time at around 140k and it only had a very light sheen to it.
My Cobra obviously didn't put out enough oil to need one even thought the PO had one on there, whereas the 11+ Coyote Mustangs put quite a bit of oil through the PCV. There's several guys running oil separators on those cars that would get about half their separator full ever oil change.

for how much the kit is for like eddehs setup, you will have almost that invested in the fluid trap bowl you posted.
