Default catch can....

i wanna see some pics and find out some more info on the catch can for the pcv system. i did a sarch and didnt really find what i was looking for. i dont know maybe i missed it but i figured i would post and ask.

-where can i find one?
-anyone have pics?
-how hard is it to put in?
-how much will it cost?

also would getting a breather help out oil consumption or should i stay away from that?

well wait it looks pretty simple, maybe ill do that tomorrow. any tips or pointers before i do it?

will this effect the amount of vacuum by any chance and cause problems? or will this be just as good as the stock one just without the oil consumption? and what is the purpose of that little in line filter? is that really needed?

I don't have access to my car right now, but I attached a pic of one that I bought off of EBAY. It was advertised for turbo cars to catch the ricers eyes, but it works great on my car and kinda adds that little bit of shine under my hood. I paid around $40 for it. You can rig up some kind of filter setup for just a few bucks though that will probably do just as good as what I have.
