I can see the logic of having catch-cans in some racing applications but for the street I think they are ricer junk.
it appears they do not know how the PCV system functions , so that it is easy for them to fall prey to the
quacks and thieves that promote "catch Cans" as a solution to
a non existent problem or as a fix for bad piston rings

so no
i do not think that
"anyone has stopped to consider " that they are being cheated by the thieves that promote this nonsense

except for Frank
