Those of you without a catch can probably have something similar to this in your intake tract right now.

It looks like shop rag covered in oil.

Catch can was my second mod a few weeks after a CAI. And the first mod I got after reading about the problems on some of the LLT engines.

Here is a quick article about why a catch can is mentioned so often for the V6 cars.

I sure do get enough oil out of my Elite Catch Can to give me peace about the whole debate. What i'm really troubled over is the HP gain to price ratio of Fuzzy Dice. Seems like a small investment for all that extra power. I'm not buying it!
