RX Dual Valve Catch Can or Open PCV?
I'm researching supporting parts to go with an ECS supercharger install. I've read a lot about the various catch cans out there and have narrowed it down to two. The LMR C6 system is an open PCV design but has a few design issues that make me skeptical. The other option is the RX Dual Valve catch can that keeps the PCV system in tact and draws a vacuum on the crank case under normal driving and boost. What is everyone out there's opinion on these and which one would you go with?

RX is junk. In fact, you can buy mine if you want, but I would almost feel bad selling it to someone.
MM makes a great can that works good in between the LMR cost, which is also a nice can.

I wouldn't do the elite can on a boosted car. Just not setup correctly, and not enough flow if you push it.
MM is where it is at, or a breather setup like LMR. You can get breather cans from summit/jegs, or just make them.

I really like what I'm seeing with the Mightymouse PCV can. Does anyone have any practical experience with it?
The LMR setup mounting location and hose routing looks like it could could pose some issues.

Issues? You mean besides taking fender off to empty or mount?
MM is a long long long time LS racer/owner. He is awesome. He has a nice supercharged z06 and is building another badass one, and had a nice 7 second ws6. His stuff is all top notch.

I'm glad you guys recommended MM. I was previously unaware of that of the MM products.

I have a Mighty Mouse can. I have it set up as a "draft" can on my ECS blower kit. It works flawless and is a very quality piece. If you have a dry sump car Dave(Mighty Mouse) can set you up with a nice bracket to mount it by the oil tank. Wet sump is a little more tricky but doable. I mounted mine behind the battery.
I highly recommend the Mighty Mouse can

My elite catch can worked great and did what it was supposed to. I am currently talking with David at MM about what to use on my new setup as I don't think the elite is enough at higher boost levels.
His stuff looks great and he is very helpful.

I've had luck with my RX Monster can with 1LE style breather but if I could do it over again I would get a MM can. I'll most likely get one anyway.

What are the pros/cons of hooking the MM can up in a PCV configuration vs. a Draft configuration? Does the PCV config provide better ring seal or crankcase evacuation?

Sent David @MM an email. He'll answer any questions you have. I have mine set up as a draft can. I have a wet sump LS3, but I have really only seen LS7/dry sump car set up as a pcv can. If I were you I'd set it up as a pcv can if I were you.
