I have the Buschur one which is definitely, hands-down, the best option IMHO. It comes with a new dipstick too which allows the oil in the can to drain right back into your oil pan where it belongs. Simple setup and mounting and it works. Plus, it's a very nicely made piece.

Looks decent for the price. I'd probably weld a fitting on the top of it for a large k&n breather filter.

catch cans are not all made the same and it is best to have one. i would go with the one from STM along with the vented dip stick or Buschur.

not to be a naysayer, but if your catch can is usually filled with all sorts of blow by which has combined with any sort of condensation there by contaminating said oil why would you want to have that drain back into your oil pan? i know my catch can never had anything that looked nice in it when i would dump it. I understand BR makes it and it seems to work but my catch can always had a bit of something else mixed in when I dumped it so it dont seem like the greatest idea to have it drain right back in unless there is some sort of sweet check valve that only allows oil to drain and keeps everything else in the can

That one looks decent for the price and sounds like it might have media in it too?

I would go with the Saikou Michi's, they're good becuase they have baffles inside that pull out the liquid not just an empty can. Some of the hollow ones can be taken apart and can put steel wool or something in it to help seperate the vapors from the liquid and what not.

I found Two (1 big 1 small) of his cans with lines, clamps, AND a Krank vent all in great shape on ebay and got it for 50 bucks Shipped! Deff scored with that deal

Ebay catch cans are fine AS LONG as you seal them before hand. Actually, IMO, this is true with even the "quality" name brand ones. I use a tube of hondabond (look it up if you don't know what it is, its a very oil resistant RTV material honda sells) to seal all of the fittings and seperation lines the can might have. You should also add some baffle material if there is none, I use thick steel wool to give the oil vapor something to condense on. Other than that, you should be just fine with cheaper catch cans.
