Huge shout out to Mighty Mouse catch cans. This is from 372 miles of adult driving on a fully stock LS1 with 68k miles. I wish I would have gotten this earlier. I can only imagine the amount of milkshake sludge that went back into my engine.
Yeah, I have a mighty mouse as well. I have their C5 wild catch can on my supercharged c5. They make top top quality products! That seems like a lot of "milkshake sludge" from just 375 miles on the stock engine.

Excellent products! Eh, it’s pretty average. I’ve owned 3 c’5s. All about the same. And if you watch YouTube videos of others, mine isn’t actually all that bad. Could be worse!!!

Lots of debate on catch cans on the forum, but I had one on each of my last two C5s and they work well in preventing oil from getting into the intake. Looks like that Mighty Mouse catch can does a good job.
I removed my stock C5 intake about 5 times to replace bad oil pressure sensors before I broke down and relocated it. Rant aside, every time, I drained a noticeable amount of oil from the intake. I always wondered where that quart and a half went between oil changes went too. It wasn't just a piston ring thing and in fact, I doubt there were any problems with rings. We can't have catch cans here in CA but it sure would make sense for some owners
Some swear by them I never saw the need. Every intake sooner or later is gonna get some carbon/oil in them doesnt hurt a thing. It burns off.
Guess its a mod if youre picky..

I 100% agree, even with your non edited post lol. The engineers aren't dummies.
Things do get a little bit more complicated when you throw boost into the equation so there is that.
I did however put a catch can on our 392 SRT grand cherokee and it fills up very fast. 0wt oil life. While not necessary it is kind of satisfying to see how much is in there and dump it out. Even if it is mental.

Thats a common misconception. The oil actually never “burns up” but rather creates this situation. Keep in mind your motor should be taking in clean air. Not air filled with oil vapors that creates a chocolate milkshake.
Thanks for the support and to hear the good results!
Happy to answer any questions on it.
Cars for sure can go down the road without them; BUT they can also go down the road without superchargers or chrome tail light rings. Do what makes you happy!
I'll never run another one, period. For over half a century, blowby/oil mist was vented to the atmosphere. Works for me. I ran lines to each valve cover, which, in my opinion, sees the hottest air inside the entire engine, as it's the highest point on the engine. I believe venting the hottest air inside the engine helps keep it slightly cooler. I also ran a hose to the valley cover. Tied them all into one system with tees and elbows that culminated in one larger line. That single line goes to a small can mounted on the front cradle. Empty very little every oil change. Bottom line: If you put a suction/vacuum line onto an engine, don't be surprised if it sucks more oil/water vapor out than just a vented line. Works great for me... . .

I agree completely an actively venting and filtering pcv catch can will collect more oil than a passively venting and non filtering catch can.
Aside from that difference, you will also notice a complete lack of fumes control and crankcase filtration, these two things approximately 100% of our customer base prefer to retain.
That being said we also offer non-pcv solutions, aptly named 'RACE' systems.
David, I love your products! I've been very happy with mine. My only regret is that I found out when it was delivered to me (from the return address label) that you're local to me. I could have saved a few a buck on shipping, and I always like talking to other car guys.

To be clear, I've read, and heard, nothing but good reviews on your products, and was merely stating my opinion, which was unsolicited. I do wish your company the best, and if I do choose to run a PCV system, I'll go with your product. I just choose to not run any PCV setup.
