Should be just as effective as the Crawford one for less than half the price. I ordered one last night.

Easy install too. Here are pics on a BRZ.

Not sure why you are comparing our AOS to a catch can as they are two different components with two different functions. Plus this catch can only has half the necessary ports needed on a BRZ/FRS?

You're not reinventing the wheel here, guys. The Moroso unit is an AOS!! Only difference is that yours drains the oil back into the pan, which I personally don't care for and I don't personally feel that it warrants the price. Check the installed pictures again. What additional ports are needed?

From Moroso's website.

Plumbed into a vehicle''s PCV system to capture the excess crankcase vapors, residual oil mist and moisture from reentering the intake tract
• Vehicles from the factory vent these excess crankcase vapors, residual oil mist and moisture right back into the intake manifold which could cause detonation, oil deposits to form in the intake tract including the valves themselves and from lowering the efficiency of the intercooler in intercooler equipped vehicles
• Increases engine performance from cleaner intake air
• Air-Oil Separators have billet aluminum bodies with internal baffling and mesh media
• Includes heavy duty brass inlet and outlet fittings, Fuel/Emission/PCV Vapor hose, stainless steel mounting bracket and billet aluminum mounting clamp for the body of the separator

It includes everything necessary to do the job well. Oil vapors go in, they separate via the baffle and mesh media, air comes out and back into the intake. It's that simple. Mounting the Moroso to the strut brace gives you really easy access to the drain, too.

Speaking of wheels... I am sure your BRZ has different wheels on it that ours does, it's ok to have different opinions and desires

I'd like to see some hi-res installation pictures if possible

the moroso does not have the chambers like crawford's does. its a one stage setup and a bit more simple. yea it works...but yea it doesn't do as much.

I'm glad you're embracing the publicity of this forum and the opinions that are freely expressed on it. Now let's try to avoid spreading misinformation about your competing product's functionality as Air Oil Separators

Fail! Lol....

Thanks for jumping in, I was hoping for some straight up information.

Yes. I'm in.

Too much $ for my blood. If the GB knocked $150 off I'd THINK about it.

One could just as easily call your AOS a "catch can" with an oil drain back to the pan. They both do the exact same thing! One you turn a valve and drain every few thousand miles, the other drains itself! I don't care how many chambers there are or what kind of paint and stickers are on it, your original claim was that the two products had two different functions. FAIL! LOL!

My personal experience with them tells me that I do NOT want this stuff going back into my oil pan:

This thread is for people that are interested in it, since you are not why are you posting?

The thread title is an open ended question. There have been quite a few people before me in here stating their disinterest. I'm one of them.

If Crawford wants to start their own thread for their AOS I'll politely stay out of it.

ATL - You have to remember that photo of the cup is with water and oil mixed together from a catch can. The crawford unit separates that so only the oil is drained back in.

I am not taking one side since i've owned both, but the crawford unit is nice as you never have to worry about draining it out. Most of the crap I drained from my catch can I had was all water buildup, with a small amount of oil. It just looks 10x worse when its all mixed together, lol.
