What's the can look like inside, and how is it drained?

That placement also interferes with air compressor manifolds. I get the idea but I don't see it working for as many folks here as you'd hope to service.....we already have things taking up that space.

That was my thought as well. That and having such a big ass bracket holding up a tiny can seemed like a big waste of space. I was thinking the area right next to the battery tray, in front of where the heater core hoses attach to the firewall would be a good location and you wouldn't have to have long hose runs going over the top of the engine. I was thinking a bracket that just J-hooks onto the battery tray, where you wouldn't even have to bolt it down, making it easy to empty the can as well. I'm not sure how well that location works for those with dual battery trays though.....not my problem though.

Here's what they look like opened up! The bottom twists off and you can pour out the contents. We also have a drain pet**** kit that attaches to all of our catch cans!
Also, the presale announcement will be made shortly!

Cold weather...
Been doing some thinking and I suspect there could be cold weather issues:
1. Water being a byproduct of combustion may condense in large amounts, and then freeze. Frequent draining would be a pain, especially in bad weather with no garage.
2. Plugging a cold sintered bronze 50 micron filter with frost from water vapor contact.
A google search of "catch can" "water" "cold" "ice" was informative.
If the crankcase ventilation flow is reduced, potentially to zero, water and other combustion byproducts tend to build up in the oil and turn to sludge. The sludge causes the rings to stick, starting a vicious cycle from more blowby.
Has Mishimoto tested this catch can in cold weather for the above potential issues?

BLOW-BY RESULTS FROM PROTOTYPE 2015+ FORD F150 3.5L ECOBOOST CATCH CAN KIT
BLOW-BY RESULTS FROM 2016+ CHEVY CAMARO 2.0T CATCH CAN KIT
But back to the Jeep, the majority of our testing actually took place this past winter. We did not run into any issues with freezing lines or anything of that nature. The content will change (see above for examples) as it will contain more water than condensed oil/fuel vapors, but we did not find a need to drain the can more often than the recommended oil change intervals.
