An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract. This lowers the octane rating and leaves harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power. Engineered in-house and manufactured here in the USA, the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can features a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator; this design decreases oil ingestion and maintains engine power output. This design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.
