Help slow the flow to allow more oil to fall out of suspension and not get sucked back into the intake. Putting an inline glass filter on the outlet line can be quite letting as to how efficient a given can really is. One would be surprised.
OP - very nice looking engine bay.

A check valve is defenitly necessary w/ a catch can if you are venting to the atmosphere, ie.. having an open element breather attached to the crankcase, leaving it no longer a sealed system such as a metco breather on the oil fill location. The theory behind that on boosted cars is to prevent pressurizing the crankase on a boosted application. Personally I don`t like that setup, but there are many people who swear by it. So each to their own, its all good.
This catch can has a divider in between the two ports that runs about a 1/3 of the way down, w/ metal media in the upper 1/3rd. Here is a link to a pic of the inside: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114584 Snoop, You know I like to go fast, and look good while doing it! Lol..
