looking to convert to a forcewinder (or like) air filter set-up and was wondering if anyone has ever used this piece from RRC instead of a more traditional catch-can system, here's the link:

Buellgler- that's pretty slick. The only drawback I see is that dyno tests evidently show a measurable power increase from the catch can systems. The engine makes a teeny bit more power when it doesn't have to re-ingest its own crankcase fumes.

On the other hand, sucking the fumes down the intake keeps them out of the atmosphere and helps keep your oil cleaner which is good for engine life.

based on how my X1 is at this point, if using this part is at worst a lateral move power-wise, then I'm going to be just fine! Besides, I'm sure to gain something just by installing a ram air type system, thanks for the input...

I thought this setup looked pretty interesting. I would have to actually here the opinion of someone that runs one before purchasing though.
