Default LS3 Oil Catch Can recommendation

Looking for an oil catch can for my '08 AT base that actually works...I have tried two different ones and neither one worked, still smell burning oil whenever I get on it. Did Chevy ever fix this issue with theC6 LS3? If so, what model year? Recommendations please?

Mighty mouse is about as good as they get! Mine works very well.
Sounds like you may have more serious problems (worn rings), mine never smoked under acceleration. In theory a catch can works when under high vacuum which isn't present under acceleration

Thanks for your recommendation. With only 38k original miles, I highly doubt it's the rings.
