I've got this one. Seems to do the trick. No rattling like some people complain about with the RevXtreme.

i just recently put on the saikoumichi dual can setup... i just swapped an ls6 intake and ported tb so i don't want any oil getting in the intake... i have driven it maybe 50 miles since installing the cans and i opened the drains to see if there was anything in them... not a drop... took off my lid/maf/bellows and opened the throttle body and there was a light film of oil on the backside of the throttle plate... everything is hooked up the right way... any ideas of why this happened?... is there some sort of break in period before they start working or what?

Can you describe, in detail, how your PCV system is configured? Any oil on the front side of the throttle blade?

i'm running the factory ls1 pcv system... starts at the rear of the driver side valve cover then splits off to the back of the passenger valve cover and then the hose runs along the side of the passenger valve cover to the pcv valve... from there the hose goes to the top of one of the cans and the lower hose on the can goes to the side of the intake manifold... the other hose goes from the fitting on the front of the passenger valve cover to the top of the other can then the lower hose on that can goes to the fitting on the throttle body... there wasn't any oil on the front of the throttle plate, it was only on the back

I just put the Norris Motorsports on. Only been on for 100 or so miles. But there's no more oily residue on the intake hat.

Have you ever replaced your valve seals? What do your plugs look like?

never changed the valve seals or noticed any oil consumption although i have driven the car less than 1000 miles in the last year haha... i have never seen a hint of smoke either and have replaced the plugs a couple of times and they look normal... if my seals were bad how would this cause the oil to bypass the catch can and be on the back of the throttle plate?... i don't really understand how it's possible since there is vacuum in the intake so if the seals were bad it seems like the oil would be sucked into the combustion chamber... if everything is hooked up right which i'm pretty sure it is, it seem like the cans aren't functioning properly... but their internal design looks to be really good, well on paper anyway... i can't exactly see inside of it to verify that it isn't just an empty can

Do these things really reduce oil consumption by a lot?

The main thing is they keep the oil out of the intake manifold where it is ingested into the combustion chamber costing you power & over time seroious carbon deposit buildup on the valves & piston tops.
