GT Tuning Oil Catch Can
It looks like a well designed and constructed product...


...but, it is rather expensive for a catch can.
GT Tuning is not a vendor on here, but I did talk to Roland
about the price. You can read about it here...

GTT makes nice stuff. Roland is a good guy. The exchange rate makes it even more expensive.
When it comes to OCC - since its not a key performance part nor a high tech part, I say spend as little as possible. Numerous cans on Ebay for half the price that will get the job done. Or monitor the marketplace for a used one.
regardless of how much one spends - ensure that
1) you have quality tubing that will not collapse.
2) inserting filter material greatly increases the cans effectiveness.
3) there are various ways to hook up but hooking up just the left side seems to work best. There are good threads covering hooking it up.

Or you could save a lot of money, and try this one:

If I recall correctly the GTT has an internal down tube, is that correct? Most cans do not have one and I added one to my OCC increasing the internal travel path of the air. THAT coupled with filter material (spun aluminum that I got from a kitchen hood extractor) greatly increased the trapping of the oil effect.
What I was trying to allude to previously was that its a nice have, not a must have.
I will tell you that
a) I remove about 1-2 table spoons every 4 months.
b) I can also tell you that my IC and horns are oil free.

You are correct. You may be able to see from the photo the internal downtube is the center barb. Then the lower disk is perferated to help keep oil from going back out. The lower disk does not go all the way to the bottom of the canister and below the disk is media, that seems similar to scotchgard, to trap the oil.
