^^^ if you have money to burn go ahead. and you will still have some oil in your intake with a catch can.

if you want absolutely no oil in your intake then block off all the pcv lines and install a breather on the valve covers. much cheaper and better then a catch can.

if you put breathers on you need to have one on each side to do it correctly.

I put in the updated PCV valve from WS.6 store, and a catch can and I no longer have any oil in the intake, has been like that for over 2 years now.
