I like SPE Motorsports, but bought SPE Labs. You can piece meal from ebay and amazon depending on the deals you can find and what you're time is worth to you, at the end of the day they are all doing the same job in much the same way in a given price range. Staying with a closed system is not going to gain you much over the stock system and those tend to cost significantly more than the open systems you asked about. Off the top of my head Fritz has spent almost 1k on building a "better" closed system and ultimately went to an open system in the end, but I bet he learned a lot.

the closed system using the racor filter was short of 400 bucks and not installed yet. The racor filter is in nyc and I am in Florida right now.
while in Florida I converted to open air becuase I didn’t want the heat going back into the engine only to have the cooling system take it back out.
what will I do when I get back to nyc…I’ll probally catch can the open air near the motor so I can collect the fluids in the trap and not have it drip down the road.
The heat was the new relevation for me ….while in Florida I monitored ambient air temp vs IAT air temp and with the ccv your adding 40 degrees to the mid nineties Florida heat.
so yes…now that I have the open air ccv delete in…I could have saved 400 bucks and just used a coffee can . Don’t know if there is any real value to filter ccv gas down to .3 microns if your just free airing it.

For some reason I thought you had a mishi catch can too, sorry about that. Try some Texas heat, we don't have near the water Florida has cooling them off, rain or saltwater.
I was looking forward to seeing your results with that filter on a closed system, maybe someone at a higher latitude than me will buy one or yours if you can't return the filter.
Could use the cheese grater to absorb and remove the oil with a hose to purge the gasses and vapors away. The more oil and water you can keep out of the intake, the better.

this is a good idea…
if the air is being sent back to the intake…I would recommend sheet metal type graters which I think most are….this way you won’t have to worry about metal screens falling apart and going into your engine….but…if your free airing your ccv gas….i think the metal screen approach might be good..cut to size…roll it up…put it in your canister. Metal screen sheets come in different size micron rating on amazon ..worth investigating….but don’t use metal screen if routing air back to the intake.

I'm still considering that Racor filter to possibly replace my Mishimoto can but I had zero time for looking into THAT but will do once I get to look at installing my SPE hot pipe...

when I get back to nyc, I’m going to install the racor on the outside frame by the skid plate bolts.
right now I have a temporay 1” hose to the back of the truck…which I like be use no in cab smell and no ccv heat into engine.
debating on using the racor early in the line and keep it free air ….which would catch fluids so no free air hose fluid drip.
or, use a y valve to free air it in warm/ hot months and return to engine during cool/cold months.
Does anyone have opinions on SPE MOTORSPORTS or SPELABS. Looking for a CCV Reroute Kit
SPE motorsports is an American company who actually develops some of the products they sell. SPELABS is a knock off company, most likely of offshore origin. There are numerous random sellers of knock off CCV reroute kits, you could probably find the same looking product, maybe a different color, even cheaper than SPELABS

If you want a solid CCV Reroute Kit that's high-quality and built to last, I'd recommend SPE Motorsport. But if you're on a budget, SPELABs offers a cheaper option, though it might not be as top-notch.
Also, check out the old 7.3 diesel threads. Many of us made our own for those trucks. I used some rubber tubing, a piece of pvc, some caps, a shower drain, some chore boy copper scrubbers, and a drain valve.
