Message	Less cost (hoses and valves), less chance of a boost leak, easier plenum pulls. Cons - oily smell if you ran the catch can open (i.e. the outlet of the can is filtered or is just open) Alex bork bork bork! Zengineer - ""...300zx is arguably the best, and has been almost universally admired by designers for its refinement, elegant surface development and painstaking detail design; and to think that some teenager will slap on a $150 Veilside front bumper on it 10 years from now is nauseating"
