Yes there is a sock separator but I didn't use one because it won't fitwith some turbo manifolds. Secondly, I just plain didn't use one because I wanted to relieve as much crankcase pressure as possibly and the separator really becomes an inhibitor to flow. I run on full course tracks with lots of elevation changes, like laguna seca, infineon, and thunderhill which WILL through oil to the top of the crank case just because of the elevation. Yes you can do it your way, as long as its a closed system, BUT the stock design is retarded because yes there is an oil separator, but that T is just plain stupid. It passes right through and nothing gets captured BACK into the oil system. So if any excess oil goes through, it goes into the catch can and you will need to empty it. This system basically is a really closed system where any oil or oil will be fed back into the head and back into the pan eventually. Hence why this design mimics a S13.4 valve cover without the expense of getting 2 valve covers, cutting it and welding it.
