Default Catch Can Recommendations........

Hey guys-
took off the throttle body Saturday for porting and accidentally smudged against the lip of the inside of the intake manifold, good thing- as I found a healthy layer of sludge build up. So after seeking answers i've learned that a catch can is the remedy for this unavoidable issue. Finding that there are OK catch cans and good ones with a mesh screen and all, the question to the brain trusts at large here, where can I get a good catch can...............
Thanks

Mike Norris or RX seem to be popular. I bought the Mike Norris can and it works well

When I bought one I was going to order a Mike Norris can, but he was out of the black. So I ordered an RX catch can. I have yet to install it, but it looks great and I am sure it will work as advertised.

I have a mike Norris on my 2014 but like the AMW Better that's on my 2004. The AMW has much more media to separate the oil and air.

Norris as well. Works well. But with the brass barbed fittings, there's no easy way to disconnect it to clean out the inside sludge that doesn't drain out the bottom (my understanding is that it's a mix of humidity and oil over time).
