I've been looking at doing this mod. Anybody has done it to their max yet. So far my search on the internet lead me to two products, Cusco and Greddy.

Here is a link what it can benefit our cars:

A solid engine should have minimal blow by. If you were blowing that much oil into the TB you would certinly see oil consumption. I don't know about anybody else, but I have ZERO oil consumption. Even during 10,000 miles extended drains with Amsoil, I consume no oil. So what is the purpose of the oil catch can if there's really no oil to catch?

I might get one just because I get alot of soot around the K&N crankcase filter. I don't know about a $100 one...maybe a cheap one from Summit Racing.

Tom what oil filter do you use? Do you use the amsoil? Everybody seems to complain about it being small, but if amsoil is so good, then their filters should be just fine. After all, filter size does not necessarily tell you that much about how much filter media is there.

well, it works. when i took off my manifold there was some nasty oil residue in the center two runners from the pcv valve. i didn't like that, so i decided to care of it.

HMMMMM.... that road race engineering catch can sounds lke a cheaper alternative.

But since we have a V6, we got two lines to hook up, so do we need two catch can????
