I read (but now can't find) where Chase (I think) listed some of the best catch cans, but can't find it. Is RX the goto choice, or are there better options?

Thanks for putting up with us newbies - my car is enroute to Iowa so I need to pop on this stuff....
There are two sides to the PCV system: the dirty side and the clean side. As their names suggest, the dirty dis is responsible for about 95% of the blow by getting to your engine. When you install a catch can it is on the dirty side. The clean side accounts for that final 5% and a clean side separator is what you install if you want to address that as well.

The Apex, RX, and Elite are the 3 best systems available for the Camaro hands down.

Keep in mind, boys and girls, that I'm not a mechanic, don't want to be, but these items see pretty easy for DIY'er.

With a throttle body, CAI and catch can, would I have problems with any warrantey items and/or do I need to do any tuning - I think no on both counts based upon you all's input..... Thanks Rod
All three are pretty easy installs and no tuning is required.
