They can IF you don't use a Pcv.
Both to a catch can will be just venting fumes. No Pcv pulling them out.

On my new motor I run both sides to vacuum with a catch can.

I found with anything less I had small oil leaks because of crankcase pressure.

You don't have any breathers in your set up?

Nope no breathers. All Vacuum all the time.

I change the oil a lot and its not a daily ride.

I dont have any pics at the moment. One catch can is mounted on my brake booster and one is mounted on the front of the passenger head.

When I had my Whipple, I never smelled anything either and I didn't run a can. The only time I smelled anything is when I turned my truck into a mosquito sprayer.......


I miss that Whipple....... :/
