Boomba, do these kits use the factory PCV valve fittings and hoses with some type of inline reducer?

Yes, our kit goes into the OEM factory PCV hoses, we don't think anyone wants this stuff floating thru their engine.Boomba, do these kits use the factory PCV valve fittings and hoses with some type of inline reducer?
Yes that is 100% correct.A catch can is much cheaper than having this service done.
Excellent question, we cannot speak on behalf of any manufacturer and we simply don't know what is their reasoning but a PCV system is designed to help prevent blow by from recirculating back into the block, however the stock PCV does not perform anywhere near well enough to stop blow by from flowing throughout the engine and making deposits on the back of the valves.If a catch can adds so much benefit with no draw back, why are manufacturers not installing? I know nothing about these things, so am just starting do look into it and had that question of logic... Thanks for helping the newb.
To void a warranty the manufacturer has to prove the aftermarket park caused a failure., and then it only voids it on the part effected. That is the law in the US.You didn't answer the question does it void the vehicles warranty?
Thanks for the response. So in looking at the website, there are a number of install guides but none for the Maverick catch can. Are there instructions available? Is this something a novice can do, or would a shop be a better bet? Overall I can do basic things with decent instructions but not going to figure it out on my own... I'm sure I'm not alone in that regard.Excellent question, we cannot speak on behalf of any manufacturer and we simply don't know what is their reasoning but a PCV system is designed to help prevent blow by from recirculating back into the block, however the stock PCV does not perform anywhere near well enough to stop blow by from flowing throughout the engine and making deposits on the back of the valves.
This is not a one manufacturer issue but can be found with many different makes and models of engines which suffer from it. If you search "Walnut Blasting" it is a service which is performed on a vehicle that has excessive amount of blow by which cakes the engine, causes misfire, reduced performance and overall worse mpg.
It is definitely something that can be done at home with some basic tools. We just uploaded an installation guide for both of the stages on our YouTube channel.
