I'm not sure how the "innards" work for your can, but a catch can without "innards" is usually not much af a catch can. The design is to allow the vapors to enter the can, contact with a substance and condense/separate. With no innards (mesh, filter, etc), there will not be much separation. Just rethink removing the filter. If you are concerned about low volume, get a larger one.
Yes for us larger guys that screw can be a pain!

My catch can works great and has no innards. The inlet line is on one side and the outlet is on the other side. The air comes in, the oil drops to the bottom, the air then goes out the other side.
How does this not work? I've got alot of oil in my can already.

Bought everything except the 3/8s fuel line... Took the filter apart, used the dremel to take all the blue paint off. Bought some rustoleum high temp spraypaint, matte black. Looks sharp... Will also paint the barbs once installed.
One thing... it's got a valve on the bottom that is naturally OPEN, as in it would let water, etc drop out until pressurized then it closes (theoretically). I am assuming I should figure a way to more securely keep that valve closed at all times... I'll "drain" it by removing the bowl and dumping out...
Thoughts?
Also, the design of the filter/bowl is not a simple pass through, it's an indirect route... I'm guessing this will aid in oil condensation and not pass through...
Mine is the exact same way. I just sealed the valve with high temp silicone.

Sorry to be continously working on this "Simple" mod, but I wanted to clarify one thing...
The air path... am I correct in thinking that the air comes from the back of the intake manifold (rear of the motor, drivers side) and travels to the front of the motor by the throttle body?
Comes from the rear of the driver's side valve cover and routes around to the passenger front side of the intake (down in amongst all those electrical connectors). It ain't hard; a caveman could do it. Or, if you're really challenged, Jamesbiz has a good installation somewhere on here.
