Yea I was wondering if we needed the catch boxes but the car has been fine since i put them on.. I no longer feel the car boggle out after a few hours of driving of driving it... i only put the passenger side on and driver side has a direct hose to it.... if it would act up again ill put that side on as well...... whats the purpose for these containers ?

Not necessarily. They are insurance. Under normal operating conditions there shouldn't be a lot of oil misting up that high.

your car will throw a check engine light without both of those hooked up on a stillen gen3 cai. when i had my front lip mounted they busted the fitting on one while taking off my bumper. didnt make it 5 miles before the cel came on.
