Most people who own/drive vehicles don't do that. So a catch can wouldn't be needed. If you change cars before your engine dies... you don't need a catch can.
I think the product is a good preventive measure for anyone who plans on having this vehicle for decades and want to have as minimal problems during it's life. You won't see the results unless you tear apart engines for a living. So for the average person it has no quantifiable worth. But for an enthusiast it has its worth.
Useless? No.
Unecessary for most vehicles? Yes.
Ive emptied mine out a few times and everytime I say to myself man I'm glad that isn't going into my combustion chamber. Will it affect performance significantly? No, but it's just like those guys who change their oil at 3K miles... it just gives them peace of mind.

I agree on this but we are all over looking one little item. Besides carbon build up and moisture there is acid build up. Only a lab test can show you the difference over time. This acid build up is one of those things that is kind of hard to really measure. We cant really smell it, see it at , or feel it...but its effect can be a make or break thing. Its like a bullet proof vest. EEHHHH who needs it...its heavy, cumbersome, ugly, makes u sweat and the chance of it ever being utilized is about 1 in a million right. Right, until one day u are the million and now it means everything. Peace of mind, especially with anyone who invested about 30k on top of the cost of the car in things already, is paramount.
