PCV Oil Catch Can Very very nice item. I have had mine for about a year and these things work great. They have worked on ANY type of car. I get about a 1/4 cup of oil about ever 3000 miles. This item keeps that crap from returning to the combustion chamber. If you have questions, please email me and I can send pictures and info.
This attactment is a prototype. I will update with my polished can later tonight.

take a look at this, do think its oil consumption? I had it looked at by brent at TEA, i have done a leak down test and compression tests, and its all good, but after going to WOT, and then ;etting off, it does this ****. Keep in mind that this was while the car was about 1 point too lean, but I had it tunned, but the smoke keeps comming. Some folks have told me that its just the way some LS1,s are. But i only loose about 1/4-1/2 a quart every oil change, so maybe the can will fix it.
Guys, tell me what you think

The problem with greddy is that they come with cheap lines and these don't. This set up looks professional and like it came in the vehicle. These cans will out last you and ALL your cars. You can take it out and put it on your new cars as time goes on. This can is machined, fit and has a built in air/oil seperator. If you want instructions please email me.
This is so simple that you can install in about 5 - 10 minutes. You disconnect your PCV and run a hose from that to the top of this can and out the side of the can to the intake. This runs inline after the pcv. Very very simple and easy to install on any car.
I don't make these, but I can tell you that they are well made.
Good luck.. Email me and you will have yourself getting one of these for sure.

If you have oil in your runners, then it is coming from the PCV system and yes, this can will catch all of that. We have been testing on a 96 dodge truck(and many other cars) and after driving 500 miles, this can will catch a cup of oil. If the can was not installed, then this amount would have gone through the runners and vavles. This is a shame on a new motor!!!

As far as internal design, I can't say because I haven't seen the inside of your can. As far as longevity though, I'll put cash on the fact that neither one of us will live to see the day where the metal on either one fails.
Not sure where you got the idea that the Greddy can was thin, but it's not even close to thin...PS. I've never seen a bright polished box style coke can with 9mm fittings before
blackhawk 131, I emailed the addres on the site you posted a few hours ago, im still waiting to hear from them. I NEED a catch can pretty bad, and i realy dont care what it looks like "Coke can" or not

i made my own catch can, it was cheap and i guess it worked. i made it look pretty good but the thing was i was still getting oil goin into the motor? how can i get away from this? i had a clear line on the top with a filter and after about 2 weeks it was nasty with oil still. how can i set it up where this wont happen?

It seems that most people don't want their car using oil. Fact is, all cars burn oil from rings, high rpm's, or poor oil. The thing is I don't want it going through the combustion chamber and building on the valves. Through time this will cause HP to drop. In a turbo, this could stop detenation.
You could make one yourself, but I wanted something that looked like it belongs in the car and does the job well. I went to the extent to buy the Z06 valley tray and even after that install, I still get oil in my can.
Mike, I don't think you can fix the problem because it is a problem.

I need to tell you that no can will stop the problem, but only catch the moisture before entering the motor. You will still loose 1/2 1/4 quart every oil change.
