But compared too let's say the AR OCC, the BSH OCC has a shorter tube because it sits closer to the firewall on the passenger side. Compared to some AR OCC where they route the tube all the way to the front of the car on the driver side.....

So based on that theory, with all else being equal, the AR ones should be less efficient than the BSH ones?

So then the heat that's accumulated on the BSH OCC being that it sits right above where the turbos are, shouldn't be a factor? At least it should be negligible?

So basically, the length of the tube is the culprit and not necessarily the baffle inside the OCC nor the heat it comes in contact with?

I kinda get what that article was saying. It basically states that with a short tube, with all else equal, will have a better flow than that of a longer tube, no?

TIA
Yes and yes
