It is simply a location of ease and accessability. If you buy enough hose you can mount it anywhere you would like.

The oil in the air box is from the hose on the drivers side of the valve/cam cover and I also have a second OCC on it and it doesn't get much oil in it, no where near as much as in the one in my PCV line that goes straight into the intake manifold. For the one that goes into the air box, it took a few weeks before any oil showed up in it, but the one for my PCV had a small amount in it on the second day and gets around 1/3 to 1/2 full after about a month or two.

 

So how many times do you need to empty the OCC? Or does something else happen to it?

 

You won't have to empty it all that often. It's clear plastic so you can easily see when it's getting full. It will depend on how much you drive and how hard you push it. If you unscrew it to empty it, don't lose the little o-ring......

 

Would you guys rather get the Mopar exhaust, Magnaflow exhaust, ATR Catback exhaust, or the MPx exhaust system?

 

It all depends on how much money you have to put into it and how much power you want out of it? I think the MPx is the best, but only if you plan on going over 350 horsepower. If you going to stay under 350 horsepower, then just get the Mopar/Borla exhaust.[sm=smiley2.gif]

 

Hi I too am new to this site so here goes,
I recently sold my 328is BMW and have had my 04-SRT-4 for just over a month, needless to say I have loved every minute of driving the SRT and have not missed my U-boat for one minute!
I was never a fan of the “little hot rod/car� concept however the SRT has made a new believer out of me, and the potential for the car is still not fully explored.
My question is this: What at are the differences in real HP/torque gain between modifications to the intake versus say the headers/exhaust system? I.e. if you look at the K&N intake and take their hp rating to be gospel, it works to be about $66/hp of gain. What would one get for a similar upgrade in the exhaust system?
I have read about the K&N intake and frankly from experience I have always been suspicious of their HP. numbers. I also see that other companies claiming their intakes HP gains even higher than K&N’s (see AEM’s claims).

Regards,

Napoli

 

If you go to www.modernperformance.com, they have a dyno chart on a 2003 SRT-4 before and after putting on a Morpa/Borla exhaust and a CAI with Stage 1, I believe. Remember, the 2003s were only "rated" at 215 HP, stock.....your 2004 is "rated" at 230 HP, stock.....[&:]

 

BTW, Modern Performance is located in Houston, Texas. As we all know, dyno runs on a turbo car can be affected by temp/humidity and tend to be better when the weather is cool and dry. Houston isn't known for cool and dry weather, so dyno figures done somewhere else may be even higher.....[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Dusty,
Thanks for the quick response,
Houston is the "mother of all humidity" so your right it does not lend itself well to the Turbo powered cars. Not having driven my SRT eleswhere I cannot tell the difference.
I will check the site you mentioned for their numbers,
Thanks again,

Napoli,
Maybe I should change my name to Wet-loins?...lol!

 

Either that, or Rustyloins!!!!!![sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]
