Best Catch can to buy..

Ok guys I am gonna buy a Catch can for my SS before I start any mods, I am on a steep learning curve on these cars and learning as I go. Ok with that in mind I have just learned why I need a catch can, so what is the best one to buy and where should I buy it from and get the best buy for my Dollar. thanks in advance.

I ran a Mike Norris can. I will never buy a catch can which I can't disassemble. Just a personal preference.

I just ordered this Elite can...

Did a LOT of research and this was a good place to buy it as well...

There are a few that are the better ones... I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I have an Elite and like it. Easy to empty.

Do a quick search through the forums, WAY too many threads to mention on it. Some believe in the catch can, others do not.

I was going to order an elite, but then decided on going with a Mighty Mouse as it also vents crankcase pressure.

How often do you empty the Catch cans?
