Default Oil catch can for decent price?

I have searched and searched. I dont want to spend over 100 dollars for a catch can. Is there any that are priced between 40-75 that work very well. I see the ebay ones all over for 20.00 but heard are junk. I dont want to make my own either.

yeah I just put my ls6 intake on and dont want it all gunked up. I changed to the new pcv valve the truck one and the 0W 40 mobil one european forumla and the problem is almost gone. I think im gonna just get the ws6 store one. Seems that alot of guys have had success with this one. Imo the ones over 100 is rape. They cost like probaly less then 20 to make for the manufacturer. The ebay look good but I read that that they are just an empty can that doesnt do much of anything. Im gonna wait to the end of the day and if I dont hear any other ones im gonn order. Im getting way better gas mileage with new intake. I know some of the reason is no oil mixng with the fuel. My ls1 intake was a mess

That one looks nice with the breather filter on top. I think im just gonna get the ws6 store one. Like you I searched and the only other ones that are good are all over 100. I would think for 50 you would be able to get a good one but dont trust without reviews.

They return emails every single day.......every day. Erik himself answers them directly.

They have my car now....installing my new engine. Yes, they are busy, email them there, they have the cans. I'm having them install one on my new engine, they work.
