Oil catch cans

The guy I traded my LS6 intake to said it had all kinds of oil in it or on the map sensor anyway and he said I needed to look into getting a catch can or PVC delete...so where excatly would I get one. And how would I go bout deleting the PVC? Thanks for any input Jason.

Not to hijack the thread, but I have heard of catch cans not working so well. Oil going straight through them. Anyone notice tons of oil in their catch can?

Hey ja02ws6,
Here is some good reading on Coalescing Filters I got one for my vette and now my intake is oil free.
