Oil catch can

What about this one in particular jumped out at you? Some sort of performance/design thing?

I figured I'd get the custom corvette accessories one simply because they are local to me. I can drive down there and look at it before I buy.

But I'm curious what you found significant when evaluating these?

Many of the products had no mist extraction or retention capability. Some were plastic, some had in & out fittings straight across from each other, just holes in a can.
This one atleast incorporates features to extract oil from vapor and keep collected liquid away from the vacuum source. Looks precision made, durable & looks good.
Looks similar to the red one pictured previously.

Ok cool. Was just wondering if there was something further that you found important in a catch-can.

As you noted, the one Jeff posted up has similar features, as does this one from CCA:


For me, they are local (though they were moving locations this weekend! So I've not been able to pick a can up yet) and there seems to be nothing wrong with the can setup.
