Unless you have a heavily moddified car I don't see the benefits of getting one. My friend is using one on his stock LS2 C6 and I highly doubt that it is doing anything but look cool.
He says otherwise obviously.

I also want to know who has this setup and how much has it benefited them.

Anyone who has the oil catch can where did you get it from? and Can you post a pic...

thanks

Just added one. You'd be surprised at how much oil runs through the intake system.

Where did you get this from? what brand of catch can are you using? any special hardware?

I put one on a year or more ago. Elite Engineering if I remember correctly.

Basically a stock 03 LS1.

It does pickup excess oil that otherwise would go back into the intake. Not a massive amount but why let any into the intake?

You know, I have been meaning to do this and this thread just reminded me so I will get it done!

This is what I'm using:
http://www.corvettemods.com/servlet/the-39/CORVETTE-C5-C6-OIL/Detail

It's functional. Elite is obviously better but 3x$$$. This one would be better if it had 90degree connectors - couldn't find any at my local plumbing shop....

I just installed a FAST90 and LS2 TB so I had to re-plumb my PCV. The LS1 TB has a vent that isn't present on the LS2 so I plumbed driver's valve cover to back of passenger and front passenger to the catch can, the PCV and the manifold...

We'll see... :beerbang:

Cool thanks for the link, I like the fact that is small and compact, I really hope Im not taking in a quart of oil like some of these large catch cans hold....I may try this one out.

I too like the look, however for $100 or so I can't justify the spending.

Just purchased a silver 08 conv LS3. Noticed black specs collecting on back of car. 1st thought was oil leak, but none could be found. After reading various corvette forums found out it was coming from the exhaust & the solution was a catch can. customcorvetteaccessories:thumbsup:
