I have seen numerous brands, types, configurations, and prices of catch cans on the internet. What would be a good one that won't break the bank? Making a list of projects for my '06. I really need to do this mod/repair.

I installed this one from Amazon...I've seen some ridiculously priced catch cans, north of $200. Keep it simple.

The problem with the cheap ones is they're typically just an empty can with no baffling of any sort whatsoever, so a lot of the oil that is suspended in the air stream continues on. You'll get some falling out due to the sudden direction change, but not nearly as much as you can get with some kind of baffling.

If you get one that can be disassembled you can add baffling to it, even if it's just stainless steel scrubbing "sponges" to help catch any oil in the air stream. Google "ebay catchcan mod" and you can find all kinds of ideas and suggestions.

I have had a catch can sitting on the shelf for about a year now trying to find time to install it, I just went with an eBay special and was going to figure out my own baffling

So if I get around to it I will post up my results
