Cummins N14 catch can?

Howdy fellas,

I have seen this posted before but my engine breather tube on my N14 drips some oil residue and kind of makes a mess after awhile. I ran it down close to the ground but I'm still not happy with it. I have seen the Pittsburgh power catch can mentioned all over this site. But it is almost 500 dollars and doesn't look like anything special to me. I assume I can just buy any old catch can system and just vent it back to atmosphere? I would get an extremely low restriction one. I have seen multiple with large intakes and exhausts on them with basically no restrictions and even two vent filters on top of it as well. Exhaust line would be ran down toward the road same as previously. Any reason why this wouldn't work? Also Pittsburgh power is $500 and the one I am looking at for example is $50. I have also seen people stuff steel wool or copper wool under the baffle in the valve cover to help collect some of the oil. I would prefer to spend $50 bucks not to have thin strands of metal under my valve cover lol. Thanks!

It just vents back to atmosphere correct? I just don't think there is anything specific or special about it that I can tell. Appreciate your reply.

 

Single breather!

 

Sounds good I am just going to try the cheaper version. Seems like it shouldn't be any different at all. I just don't see anything game changing about their design that is worth 350 bucks. I appreciate your feedback and maybe I will be wrong! We will have to see.

 

Ha! I hear ya man. I am on a bit of a money saving kick lately. Making my own exhaust as well. I just don't like the prices these days. Everything seems about double what it is really worth.
