Heater hose is fine, its what most use. You can vent it into the exhaust, but its gotta be done right. It has to be at a 45* angle into the exhaust. Mine's just vented into the atmosphere.

Thanks for the response that answered my question.

I dont understand why people take the time venting it into the exhaust. Does International?

No, you're not. Depends where it exits, if its got much blow by, which way the winds blowing (you haven't driven much), etc. It's noticed more after a good hard workout on mine.

I use a catch can that has a wire screen in it. The vent then goes back up to the original spot in the intake.

Knock on wood, no problems

Got the catch can from tractor supply. it was in their fertilizer pump section
