The 5" rise or loop is there to keep as much oil in the engine as possible. It runs down and into the top of the cannister. The cannister is made out of 3" black PVC with an end cap on each end, it looks pretty clean. The top of the cannister has two 3/4" barbed fittings for the line going in and the 3/4" line going out. On the bottom is the small fitting used to drain the cannister when I change my oil. That is why I mounted it so close to the oil filter. I used 3/4" heater hose wrapped with steel braided covering (for looks) because it is durable and the actual fitting on the stock doghouse is 3/4". I wanted to keep the same diameter hose throughout and I made sure not to introduce any restrictions along the length of the hose. From the cannister back is regular 3/4" hose that runs the length of the drivers side frame rail and out the back.
I get a lot of vapors continually streaming out the back of the mod and I know under power it is definitely venting correctly. If you search around here for CCV mod you will find a couple posters that have introduced leaks that they feel resulted from the natural venting of their CCV. Mine, like I said has been running for 40K, I get very little oil drainage and no leaks. I don't have any pics, but it looks fairly clean and neat as far as homemade mods are concerned. I fab'd a clean mounting bracket and used an existing hole in the frame rail to mount the bracket and cannister.
