Default Which Oil Catch Can?

Ok I looked under the hood tonight and i've really only got room near the crossbrace (on the cruise control side)....i don't want to remove the cruise control because it does come in handy on long highway rides when my foot cramps up.....but what are my options??

I know there is the Cusco, Greddy, Carbing...what are my other choices....I need something a little smaller than the Cusco....or should I just use the K&N vent breather (small filter that just sits on top of the motor)??

Please guide me to the appropriate choice...thanks in advance and picture and links are welcome!!!

Carbing i think is the smallest one of the ones you mentioned.

the new style Greddy looks pretty small too...the question is...is it ok to drill the cross member?? cause i'd need to drill 2 holes to use that T-bracket that Greddy offers...

You can make your own using an air compressor filter.

there's not much more work than putting a catch can in your car, it might not looks the best but it will filter better than ALL of the brand you mentioned before.

if you can't thread in two brass fitting..um..nevermind

Look in the DIY section of underthehood. THere is a mod for mounting the Cusco catch can near the battery.
