The catch can will condense and trap oil and contaminants found in the crankcase vapor. This oily/acidic "shmag" would have otherwise been re-circulated into the air intake and the intake manifold of your WRX. This is where you get the oily residue and/or puddles of oil you see in your intake tube, turbo compressor housing, intercooler, and throttle body...
Ingesting this "shmag" is a good way to burn it off without letting it vent to the atmosphere (emissions) as well as assisting in crankpase pressure relief (which is absolutely crucial to ring sealing and proper turbo oil drain). Trapping the oil that would normally get sent back through the motor keeps the air/fuel charge from getting diluted and keeps a more stable combustion event in the motor as well.
Plus it's shiny.

Hey Richard,
Did you put any sort of filter/baffle in there or is the can empty? There seems to be two camps on this issue. Some say there MUST be something in there to condense the oil vapr (such as steel wool, foam, etc.) while others say it works just fine empty.
I have the Perrin installed and I was told by World One to leave it empty.
I know, I know, I could have saved about $100 making my own but I am lazy and the bling bling was worth it to me. Red body and hoses inside my red 2004 WRX. So cool....

The Cusco can't be "opened". I don't believe there is any baffling in there, and consequently it hasn't caught ANY oil for me (or nothing that is viewable on the sight glass).
Wes has the Greddy - and even though I don't think he packed it with anything it has been emptied twice.
Not sure exactly what to think, but at least there's something shiny under my hood.

It's a nice new 2 story home for a family of spiders in my friend's garage.
I never used the windshield "squirters" anyway. I hate the residue it leaves on the glass and the paint - so it was just dead weight anyway...
