Youll be very pleased. I got DarkAges bracket also. I got the clear adonized catchcan. Both are very high quality pieces. Installed the Metco breather and Im good to go. When you see the oil in the catchcan youll know you did the right thing.

My AMW Blue Anodized can arrived.
First off, my hats off to AMW, they shipped it the same day I ordered and sent me a tracking number that day. I didn't even ask for this.
Now, the quality of this product is second to none from the can construction, anodizing and machining of all the parts, including the bracket.
It's WELL worth the $88 shipped. I think they're giving them away at that price.
DarkAge's bracket will be here by Friday, I'll follow up then.

What I don't understand is how a relatively small company can sell a very high quality product such as this can make any money on a piece like this. Even the nipples that are installed on the can for the hose connections are very high quality as well as the hose clamps.
Then you have the large companies like F.A.S.T. and their cheaply assembled LSX that sells for $700+.
Either AMW is making no money off of these (or losing $$) very awesome quality PCV cans or we're getting SEVERELY chaffed by companies like F.A.S.T.
I really have never been so impressed with a product quality and cost ratio as this.

its simple for 3 reasons why they can do it so cheap.
1, its not super expensive to get something like that machined, if you can make lots of them. They have to front the cost of development, coding, ect, but the payoff in the end will make them fairly cheap to make.
2, they sell direct to the public, and not through a middleman, who needs to make profit.
3 they're not typical greedy ls1 part manufacturers who like to charge up a premium because they think we all have money, this was true in 1998-2000, but not anymore with ls1 cars available for $7500 or less.
simple things like nx switch panels, and fan switches, once 2 people make profit, the simple parts get expensive

once you get the AMW can you just gotta that you didn't spend the same $$$ on a GReddy. I accidently reversed the PVC lines to the can but it still works great

hugger427, I actually bought a Cusco can from an Import shop for $125 last year. It collected the oil but it was too bulky to mount and drain easily.
AMW has done the homework on these. I can't wait for my bracket from Dark Age 53, it'll be here tomorrow.
