Here is a picture from one of our local guys. Installed his Apex catch can on his LS3 SS and did a 350 round trip last Saturday. This is what he had in the can when he got home.

Emptied mine yesterday, looked about the same with about the same amount of miles. she works, thats for sure.

jeeze makes me wonder about the V6 with DI, since I know the Lexus IS250 with DI gets really dirty intake valves since the IS350 has both DI and port injection and the port injection helps with cleaning the intake valves. Lexus even extended their warranty on IS250 engines to 100K I think. The V6 in the Camaro only has DI right?

Correct. Direct Injection, which is what everything is going to including the new LT engines in the C7 and new full size trucks, exacerbates the problem of carbon build up on the intake valves in particular.

I have an RX catch can - the first time I emptied it was after 2k miles and there was a nice amount. Since then - another 2k miles nothing. Very weird.
