Default oil catch can?

Ive done alot of searching around on here to see if there was some good info on which brands work better than others and I have found none. Ive looked on many websites and get very little info on the units. I understand that all brands will work, but some definately work better than others. Some are more functional than others. So I am asking those of you with occ's installed please give brand name, if you added another stock pcv valve, how you have to drain it-turkey baster or it has a drain hole, is a pcv valve built into the unit, cost, is the can empty or does it have mesh or baffles in it, and any other information that may be helpful to myself and future members. Vendors on this site if your going to chime in please speak only about the products functions and not how we may get a better price from one vendor to the next. Thank you.

I got this one:
Corvette PCV Oil Catch Can

As long as you get a quality one with a baffle, just get it however you find easiest to empty.

I only have to take out 3 screws on the side panel under that car to unscrew it and empty. Very high quality but seems to be fairly expensive.

Im not worried about cost but i want it to be convient to empty. I dont mind opening a drain cock or unscrewing a threaded canister but i do not want to disassemble the whole thing every month.

The concern i have with that one is how long before that rubber seal wears out and it causes a vacum leak?

Saikou Michi is the best IMO. I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would agree.

I used the Saikou Michi as well. I mounted it based on the instructions from Cobb. It ends up in front of the passenger tire.

I feel like a retard right now Ive searched for places to purchase the saikou michi and cant find it anywhere. Please help me find a site to purchase from.

The vette one has material to keep the caught fluid from being sucked up during harsh driving conditions, and is supposed to trap vapors more effectively.

I got the vette occ damn beautiful piece of work got the anodized red
and is easy to work with. And if you are worried about the seal they are
cheap as fuck to buy when the original one goes bad if it ever does.
I dont like the ones with the drain cock cause you can strip them , overtighten them,
and they can rust over time if they are prone to getting wet .
