Thanks for finding that link Odinson, it makes a lot more sense explained there.

This is the one you want. It has the "screw" bottom and NOT the "helix".

SCREW - Marauder

HELIX - Crown Vic

The "screw" works for the Mustang and Maruader, and the "helix" works for the CV.

I purchased my 'new' marauder 2 months ago. Even though the 2003A MM has only 25000 miles on it, it had the blue smoke at start-up, multiple times. My 2003B had 76700 miles and never smoked. I purchased the breather and the start-up smoke has not yet re-occurred in the last few weeks.

Putting that together with a comment about the PVC instruction being wrong on the trilogy instructions on another thread that may be my problem. Where do I connect the breather? In liu of the PVC or somewhere else?

Can someone elaborate on the wrong instructions for Trilogy or point me to a thread? I have a trilogy install and get the puff of blue smoke on startup. Going to likely install the Steeda PCV filter, but want to make sure my install is correct to begin with.

I found the page, but none are compatible. I thought the one at the bottom was it, but it says it is not.

WWW. JLT. com The metco breather less than 50 bucks and delivered within 24-36 hours to your door :banana2: [ Yes they sell the Famous JLT cold air intake for the MM ]

OK looks like PVC/crankcase air is definitely metered. So some variation of closed filtration is the way to go.

Seems oil airation may be causing the problem. Mine was so day and night because of the larger pressure changes/faster revs/higher power.

Still not ruling out the breather, I will bounce it off of JDM as they are in on this. Ordered the steeda. I'm not always under the hood so the clear bottom will remind me to dump the waste. Hasn't smoked on start in a couple of weeks, but I'm sure it will be back if this isn't the problem. I'll post to this thread post install if the smoking persists.

It appears Sparta Performance is putting together a group buy on a PCV filter system....

and let oil into your upper - would not recommend. I had one -- no good. CTLRAVEN, birdman also had a musclemerc catch can that did not work. Its a poor design.
