Default Z06 Catch Cans

Mostly I just read other post here. But I thought what a great place to get some feed back on this issue. Looking to put a catch can set up on my Z06 600 rwhp. I finally have this thing sorted out. With the issue with the heads taken care of etc. Now looking to do a few track days in it. (Road Racing) here and there. I see the Might Mouse set up seems popular with a little different plumbing set up for this use. I've looked at a lot pf the different possible set ups. But based of the space limitations. I was sure how many different set ups are viable. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a Mighty Mouse catch can with the "road race" top fitting on a Z06. Easy install using the supplied brackets & hose fittings.

So does the can itself have different chambers or screens inside it?

This is the one I have used on all my Corvettes, and use on my Z06.

Yes, it has both. Basically a catch can is (or should be) a liquid/gas separator similar to the one on your air compressor, but dealing with different pressures and flow rates. Some are much better than others, and MM gen 5+ came out on top in recent tests.

Lots more info here: Mightymouse Catch Can Systems (mightymousesolutions.com)

Being naturally aspirated/not direct injection, do the catch cans really fill up much over time?

They sure do. I empty mine every 3-4 months.
