So...just curious, is only adding a catch can to the passenger side enough?

A lot of people only add one to the passenger side. I've read nobody ever catches much on the other side so it sounded like a waste of money to me.

Agreed, though RX has a breather cap for the clean side. I'm thinking about installing it.

Alright @tunerBoost - I've got a '13 5.0L, what RX parts do I need? I don't need the monster can, correct? Also, single or dual check?

I took apart my UPR can today to install the diffuser. I've had my can (w. extension) for approximately 1,600 miles and have collected a few oz. of oil in that time.
While it was apart I ran a paper towel through the clean side hose to see how saturated it was and get an idea of the can's effectiveness. Good news is the inside of the clean side hose was pretty dry. Not bone dry, because it had a slight film on it. But it wasn't nearly as saturated as the inlet. I can't comment on the can's performance without the extension as I never owned it without the extension.
I installed the diffuser and wiped the inside of the clean side hose completely dry. Will report back in another 1,500 miles with how that hose looks after the diffuser upgrade.

Not for the truck. But my 5.0 mustang with breathers.

I'm coming up on 1K with my RX can - within a few hundred miles. I'll post some pics when I drain the can. Prior to install I thoroughly cleaned the throtlebody and clean-side hose and fittings...so I'll check the condition of all that as well.
