Default Good Catch can recommendations?

I have sifted thru the forum and would like some recommendations on someone or a place to buy a resonable good quality catch can for my C5. I do suck a lot of oil into my throttle body since i have deleted my pvc system and I think it is causing my car to run doggish every once in a while. I want one that is easily bolted on and looks like it belongs there. I am not a fan of hodge podge Cheap Bull SH*T lol.

Thanks for any suggestions and pictures are always a plus.

THANKS!

the ONLY thing I don't like about the RevExtreme is that it's all "in your face" when you open the hood... I like mods like that to be a little more subtle... the Rev catchcan sticks out and up a little farther than I'd like... wonder if I could adjust the bracket a little...?

I would like to use the RevXtreme catch can also, however, the pics that I have seen mount the catch can on the front of the pass side head,,, but that is where my EGR stuff is mounted. Has anyone mounted their catch can in another way?

Mount it anywhere you like....just specify the "universal mount" ...or if room on the drivers side just specify drivers side in the order....or the brake booster mount bolts work good.

Yes on bending the bracket....it can be bent anyway you want. On the size, it is a 1 qt capacity. The key to the most effective removal (w/out much added expense) is the most surface area possible to condense the vapors to droplets & contain them as far from the outlet as possible.

Would a catch can be a good idea for a vehicle with all the emissions still hooked up??

And yes the seperator works great with all emmissions still on the car. It is a closed unit so it just needs to be installed inline between the vacume source (intake manifold fitting) and the crancase vent (valve covers on LS1, and valley cover on LS6 & newer).

I like my Norris Motorsports/Thunder Racing catch can. Billet construction, very clean looking and not huge.
