Anything to help keep the engine clean is a good thing. The PCV side is more important, but CCV side doesn’t hurt. Mishimoto and Radium Engineering both make nice kits, Mishimoto only sells the PCV side. Install is simple and quick for either. Neither will cause a CEL.

Helps keep the engine clean. PCV side is way more important. First mod I did on my last 2 cars.

Very Worth it ! Not a performance part more preventative maintenance . But I've had the mishimoto since it came out and I been happy with it and does its job . I change my oil every 5000 miles and when I empty out the can there's a good amount of oil in it .

I had a Mishi catch can on for 10k miles - I drive 2 - 2 1/2 hours a day M-F. After 10k miles I had Maybe an ounce of oil in the catch can. I think because I do so much Hwy mileage it was not necessary for me on our car. I'm TSP Stg1, Cobra Race CAI, DP/FP so figured it was perfect for me. It was useless, if you do short trips all the time then get one, if you drive alot then it's not needed in our cars.

If I change jobs and start commuting less I will purchase another one and throw it on, until then it's not necessary buy something different:)

I installed the Radium PCV side on mine yesterday. Cheap insurance.

The one in my newer Camaro has about 3-4oz in it every oil change.

Hey man did you buy the drain kit or not? Also do you have to remove the can if you dont buy the the kit to drain it each time.
