Default What catch can is everyone using?

I finished up and put on a ported and polished throttle body I did last weekend and I noticed oil in the intake. I figured now is a good time to put on a catch can and hopefully reduce and/or eliminate my oil consumption, so what brand catch can is everyone using and where did they get it from?

I will be seafoaming the motor probably next weekend before my next oil change and while I was doing that I wanted to pull the intake and give it a good thorough cleaning. How would you recommend I clean out the intake? Thanks guys!

From what I've read the two best are Saikou Michi and Rev Extreme.

You can clean it out the intake with carb. cleaner. You'll also probably want clean out the intake ports on your heads.

I'm running a RevX can, does anyone elses check valve rattling terribly during idle? I'm under the impression that the vacuum would keep it from rattling, but it doesn't.

the one on the dirty side is the most important one... 2 are usually used if the car sees high rpm's alot of the time, like in road racing... the higher rpm's can force oil vapor through the clean side as well, so that's where the 2nd can comes into play... i doubt i will ever see any oil in my 2nd can since my car is rarely driven but it's there if i ever need it... and the dual can setup from saikoumichi is about the same, sometimes less, in price when compared to most of the others
