There are TONS of them online. Everybody uses them, from BBC's to import turbo'd vehicles. Here's a nice one for $60 and it has a tube to show you how full it is.

No you don't have to have a breather on it. The stock setup doesn't have one either as it's just a line from one place to the other. This will give the air a spot to cool off a bit and let the oil condense out into the can before moving on to the intake.

A vented catch can will allow unmetered air into the engine.

Not good.

Billet Prototypes Catch Cans are some of the best units out.

I'd trust any oil catch can from Billet prototypes or elite engineering, both are very good products.

Fine job bringing this out Lawdog

I'll be watching what you think. I do believe this is a good thing for my SC motor!

I'm going to get one going on it's way here ASAP.
Received my Pfadt sways today!

Of course UPS did a number on the box with there "seasonal" help. Missing some parts but I am sure Pfadt will take care of it!
Keep up the good work!

What makes theirs any better than the $60 one I posted? I'm sure it's a very nice CC but to spend $100+ on a shiney can to trap oil is a little on the pricey side.

Scourage · 12-28-2009, 09:55 PM

So just an air/oil separator basically.

BP CC's are machined billet pieces.

They aren't cheap, but they are well made.

lawdogg149 · 12-28-2009, 10:44 PM

Serves the purpose for the engine breathing but not the reventalated oil back into the intake track. I will have a photo step by listed up tomm.
