Hey I have a 2011 SS auto, i want to get a catch can but don't know which one is the best one, and since I get my oil changed at a valvoline will there be any trouble with it?

Truthfully on a stock L99, not worth it.

But if you wanted one, I would suggest the Elite Engineering. I wouldn't even bother having a quick oil change place empty it, just unscrew it yourself every now and then and empty the contents into a container. When you fill the container, bring it with you to your next oil change and just ask them to dispose for you.

I have the mishimoto one and it was a easy 10 min install and catches a good amount. I empty it out once a month and remove a decent amount of blow by.

I have heard good things about them, but I don't know about all that.

I do know if I was boosted it would almost certainly be who I would go with though.

$18.00 - Ebay:

















Clone of one of the good ones, just isn't as long. My PCV line to the intake
manifold is DRY, so it works, hands down.

I have the Mishimoto catch can. I liked the mounting of this unit also has a drain plug on bottom that I added a 1/8" fomoto oil drain valve to, no need to unscrew the can anymore to drain u will be amazed how much comes out that would be going back in to be burned.
