AMW Catch Can - Worth the $200? I did use the search, but was unsuccessful in finding a similar thread.
I will be installing a FAST 90/NW 90 setup in a few weeks, and as you can imagine, I don't want my 1100$ investment being filled with oil in a few hundred miles.
From what I can gather, AMW produces the best catch can. The cheapo eBay jobs are hollow and their integrity is questionable. I don't want to build my own. I've read mixed results from those using the vented cap/truck PCV combo, and I don't want my LS1 to whistle, which is one of the complaints I've heard from that PCV.
Is AMW the only other option, or is there a cheaper, yet as-effective proven option?
$160 for the can + $25 for the bracket + $8 for shipping is absurdly expensive for an oil catch can, but they are nice quality pieces with proven results, and I've already spent $1100 on the intake setup.
Opinions?

Here's my ebay catchcan installed. I've got the greddy one, but the knock off greddy version is just as good and about 1/2 the price.
Theres some good info in that thread about what size to get, and what hoses to use.

After their 100% price increase I'd say they are no longer worth it. Plue I made a bracket identical to their $25 bracket out of some scrap metal and a couple coats of spray paint.
