Who knows. I made my own. I'd give that one a shot. For less than thirty total, you'll do fine.

I bought a cheap one from ebay seems to work good.

Maybe a stupid question, but what's the use of the catch cans?!?! reserve the oil or what!?!

They help stop the oil from getting into the intake.

It goes through the stock PCV system and under harsh driving conditions or like I hear people say that it happens to them when engine braking in M6's.

Just make your own, here's a website that tells you how http://benelliwang.badassride.com/Engine/#PCV i did something similar on my mustang i used a fuel filter i believe from autozone a big plastic one works great. Although that one on the webpage looks better. Yeah and he tells ya how to use an LS6 intake with the stock 98-2000 coolant piping.

Commando

aha, so it's like a safety measure incase of severe use of the car?

Unless there is excessive oil I can't see any problem with a little oil making it's way into the intake (although it is far from idea). It won't cause any real harm (to my knowledge anyhow).

A small amount may not cause much harm, but if they'd intended for oil to be allowed into the intake, they'd have made a provision for it. I'm still getting oil in there with the truck PCV valve and my homemade catchcan

What oil are you using? Try 5w40 synthetic. It should help. I run Mobil 1 5w40 in my car, and had a catch can installed for a little over 5,000 miles. When I checked the catch can, it was bone dry.

im not a oil grade buff... tell me the difference of using 5w-40 as opposed to 20w-50 or 5w-30? just wanted to know

I would burn 10w30 like it was no one's business. By switching to 5w40 I did not burn any didn't have any issues with it going into the intake. The catch can I had I sold because it was useless to have it if it wasn't catching anything.
