reasonable and good Catch Can? Unfortunately the search on this topic didn't result in too much usefullness, and a lot of old posts.
Anything new out there that is reasonably priced, but good results? I know AMW had something decent, but their webpage is pretty much gone. Greddy seems like its an empty can with no filter or anything. I looked on ebay and it looks like there are a couple promising ones amongst all the generic cans that flood it.
Any ideas?

I really like me Elite Engineering one that I ordered- it comes with the full kit, as opposed to the AMW can that you had to order the mounting bracket separately. Also, the EE catch can can be emptied without having to unmount it, the bottom just screws off and on for easy disposal.

I looked on EBay and found a cheap one for like $30. It did it's job pretty well but was still alowing some vapor through. I ended up adding two separators after the catchcan and I hardly get any oil in the last separator now.
I'd seriously consider the separators though. I still have some worries about the oil eating away at them but they are pretty cheap and readily available. Also, it's easy to see how much oil is getting pushed into the intake. I was VERY suprised how much was going through.

The separator is a water separator that goes in air lines, like you'd find in a shop for the air tools. They usually have two barbed end for the hoses to connect to, and a clear bowl on the bottom with an old-school looking fuel filter inside. I don't have access to pics' of what I'm talking about but I think if you do a search you can find it. For my car, it seems to work pretty good.

This is if you want the ultimate in oil seperation. Though I'm too lazy, so will go for one of the prefab units out there.
An empty can from what I read won't do much of anything.
