but you would think the loweer hose would be inlet and then the top the outlet, cause if you forget the empty it, you will suck oil in the motor

Jeff,
I'm not smart enough to challenge these types of things and I just followed the instructions of the manufacturer. I could not explain why to you so here is it direct from Chip at Custom Corvette Accessories:
The flow should be from the PCV to the top of the can and from the
side of the can back to the manifold.
Think of it this way, if the flow was reversed, the air would be passing through the filter media on its way to the manifold. As you probably noted, it is not a filter material like a fuel or oil filter. It works differently. The air released by the PCV is saturated with oil. The filter works by providing surface area for the air to pass over. As it passes through the media, the oil attaches to the surface of the media and then drips off into the can.
The air flow going down into the can helps pull the oil down into the can for capture.
Also if you think of airflow direction, it if were hooked up backwards, the air would be passing through the oil saturated media, further impregnation the air with oil on its way to the manifold
