Go with the newer more expensive vertical mount :thumbup:

The updated model has a mesh screen filter and draining capability

I think one of them is a catch can while the other is an AOS...


Not sure though. Haven't looked at Cusco.

If it has to be a Cusco product then you definitely want the $220 one but I would keep on researching. Personally, I like Crawford's OAS . It's pricey but worth the extra money to me. It's not the only quality OAS out there. I'm sure you can find one just as good for less money.

I can attest to the vertical catch can actually working. I run a turbo setup and before the catch can i was having a problem with soot in the exhaust and coating the tips. I knew I was burning a bit of oil and figured that it was from the PCV so I decided to go with an OAS. The Cusco vertical mount does separate pretty well, but there is still a little vapor that gets by that can be seen as a very thin coating of oil in the return hose. The difference in my exhaust soot is amazing though, I used to be able to get maybe 25miles of hard driving before the exhaust tip would be coated black again. Now I get almost no soot. I havent cleaned the tips since IFO in Tuscon 3 weeks ago and i have done a 300+ mile drive with a lot of "spirited" driving thrown in (trying to keep up with some exotics and GT-Rs) and all I have is some residual soot that i think is getting blown out from further up the exhaust that catches on condensation. I am also getting on average 1 mpg better fuel economy.

As a side note though, i will likely be going to a closed loop setup like what Radium offers to completely get rid of any oil in the intake.
