So I started reading about oil catch cans on LS1Tech and got to thinking, what do you guys over here think about them? You can pick up "universal" ones on eBay for quite cheap.

And here is a link to a universal one on eBay for an examples:

So, thoughts?

 

Excellent idea, I haven't heard any downsides to them other than you have to empty the bottle every now and then.

 

Do you have one on your GXP? If so, which one? What do you think of the universal ones? I realize there are good ones and not so good ones, but I was just considering it as an added measure to help the engine and intake.

Thanks!

 

No I don't-yet, but I do plan to soon (I just don't drive it hardly at all right now). I have a buddy that had a universal Greddy knockoff on his srt-4, and it worked great- he now has a more expensive on on his LS2 goat (lingenfelter?)- just because it fit so nicely on his engine, and use factory mount locations so it looked OEM.

I need to get one on my monte too since I now have an external PCV setup with the whipple.

 

Nice. Yeah, I might look into this universal one or others like it and I'll let you know how it works out for me. Have you also seen on LS1Tech that ZZP has this milled TB (http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/ls4-fr...led-tbody.html) and they also have a cheap, groove-less TBS (http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...1019&catid=174)?

It sounds like the LS4 is starting to come into the aftermarket scene a little more every day. Heads, intakes, and all sorts of goodies.
