oil catch can?
i have seen these on tons of evos but what exactly do they do? is it just a shiney thing to put under your hood for a little show or does it have any performance oriented benifits? thanks and sorry for the noob question.

Short answer:

Oil/blow-by escapes the valve cover through the PCV valve and breather connection.

Oil in manifold = lower octane rating
Oil in intake = oily intercooler= reduced cooling efficiency

A catch can is like a trap for these oily solids/blow-by
