The price is decent, is it worth getting? I can't see spending $150 on one of the name brand units.

Just do a search and you will find plenty of pics.

yup it works, just buy new hoses, the ones that come with it suck. I just bought some goodyear hoses and I was all set. Besides, Not enough hose comes for where I installed mine anyway.

I have the AMW and granted it wasnt cheap, that being said it is a nicely machined aluminum piece that looks as though it came from the factory with the car and does a great job of catching the blow by oil.

I've seen the AMW and it looks like a very high quality peice. The one I got on ebay is very low quality...couple paint flakes and a smudge on the top. It does do the job though.
Bottom line is if ya have an extra $160 burning a hole in your pocket go ahead and get the AMW. If not go the ebay route.
