how to baffle a catch can?

I am working on building a larger catch can. I need some input on how to baffle it. It is going to be square with 4 ports on one side and the two filters on the top. Any help would be great.

This is how I do it. Works very well. Baffles shroud the inlets from the filters on top. Air has to make a 180* turn to exit. Easy to do for the air, but difficult for the heavier oil.

if you want to use steel wool,get some of those heavy duty stainless steel scrubbers, don't use the regular stuff
