Catch Can

What catch can are you guys running? I just purchased one from Elite Engineering since i've read many great reviews on them.

I purchased just the standard brass fittings red one. It should match up nicely with my Katech red tensioner.

Is a catch can needed on a stock '03 Z06? I know they improved the breather system in '03, but do they work well enough, or is it better to go to an aftermarket catch can?

I have a saikoumichi dual can on mine... this is the second car it has been on and it works great... a buddy of mine has the elite can and it also works well... both of those work well on naturally aspirated cars but I'm going to be boosting my car soon so I'm looking for a new can... I'm looking at the rx dual valve and monster can and leaning more towards the monster can that way I have more room to grow

I'm running an Elite Engineering one on my '03 (painted blue) and it does a great job keeping oil out of the intake. Easy install and looks great too.
