Trust me, get one. I went with a shitty one pulling off of valvecover nipple and it blew my rear main early in the tune. Just purchased a T1R set-up

If your not pressed about the "bling" factor, you can put together a vented valve cover/catch can setup pretty cheap. If you go with AN fittings, stainless steel hose etc... expect to spend $250+. B & R has some really nice kits that come with everything you need. I'm cheap and don't care about the bling so I put one together for under $150.

I am getting a catch can too, but i was looking at the b&r one, and i am not sure if i should get it catch only or catch and drain back. What do you guys think about that? which one to pick???

I made my catch can out of a big rockstar drink can, with the twist top, put a little filter on top, used some brass nipple fittings. works like a charm!

you don't need to spend $250 to vent your positive crank case pressure. These guys generally have more money than crafty skills around here.

I plan on running some 3/4s" brass nipples jb welded off the valve cover to a custom box of some sort. Hoping to spend less then $50 on the whole thing.
