Default Which Catch Can?

I tried to save some money, and ended up with a catch can that is simply hollow, nothing inside. This will do little to nothing to prevent oil from reaching the intake. So I'm back on the market for a quality catch can. I'm considering three. AMW, Norris Motorworks, and Elite Engineering. Tell me what you think.

I have an AMW and it works flawlessly, but the price has gone through the roof since I bought mine a few years back...I believe it was $90 at the time...

Here's how I mounted mine, I made an aluminum bracket and bolted it to the cowl, it's easy access for draining...

Not that you have a bad list going, but just to add one more to your options: http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...Category_Code=

I don't have a catch can, I'm hoping the Ls6 valley cover does the trick, but I have read many places that Norris makes a good one. They had a group purchase on LS1Tech, so maybe they are a sponsor... link... http://www.mikenorrismotorsports.com...atch_Cans.html

I haven't been able to find a price online, or for that matter, anywhere to order it online. They list two stores, but I didn't find it at either place.

I've heard good things about the Norris one. I bought the Rev Xtreme one on Group purchase on 'tech, but the Saiku Michi is a quality can too. I wanted one with an internal oil separator.

Can't find a web store for the Rev Xtreme either. Looks like a good option.
