I've been looking into the exhaust e-cutout and I'm currently running a oil catchcan. If I route the catch can into the exhaust behind the cat, but run the cutout before the cat, will I still get enough vacuum to suck out the blow by? Does anyone have any other ideas about where to route the catchcan into the exhaust?
I'm not really wanting to run an open breather either...

ive heard of many people doing this, but more on race cars than street cars. all you really need is your catchcan to be the easiest, least restrictive way out of the block for the gas to escape, which could be as simple as just a breather filter
I dont disagree with the filter option but most cases with people just using a filter end up in crankcase ventilation problems and blowby?I may be wrong but most of the experienced motor guys stand by the catch can method so i tend to think they know what is going on?I am in no way saying you dont just stating my opinion.
the filter would be on the top of the catchcan, which goes directly from the back of the block to the catchcan, you can do whatever you want with the valve cover hole

I run the Endyn catch can kit, works great. It uses siphon fittings on the back of the block, so it limits liquid build up in the catch can. I run a breather on mine, but you can choose to use a pcv valve on top, instead of a breather. The kit is like $160 but its complete and it works well.
got my kit off ebay using the OEM honda fittings, Paid about $60 for everything including can and lines.
Open breather, works perfect. Oh and not that many high hp guys use exhaust slachcut. My tuner is making 600+whp and just runs 2 cans, both open breather.
