I doubt you'd ever feel any difference. Have you emptied you catch can yet to see what's in it? I have the hardest time remembering to empty mine. I actually remembered last week. I have a ball valve drain on mine. I emptied what would be probably 1/8 of the full volume of the can. It looked like the typical chocolate milk color and stinky as usual. I probably had driven 1500 kms. Not a lot, but much better than having it sucked back into my manifold, weakening my effective octane rating.

I don't think you'll see any benefit to running higher octane (premium) gas. As far as I know, your engine is naturally aspirated with a compression ratio under 10:1.

have not emptied it yet and yeah i dont think id ever notice any difference either i guess i just like the idea of taking measures to keep the engine cleaner if possible

Oh yeah, for sure. I think they are a great idea. Keeping that crap out of your intake can only be good for the engine. Why not post up a pic of what comes out of the can? It would be cool to compare.

deff more than I thought it was gonna be so thats good, only installed for about a month of normal driving , I've only drove it hard a few times cuz its a new car. I've heard putting stainless steel wool in the bottom of the can helps to collect oil but this can does have a 2 stage baffle so I dont know if the wool is necessary.
