Default I'd like some .02 on an oil catch can on the S.

my friend offered to give me his Greddy oil catch can, so I was thinking of putting it on the S. Is this catch can too big? is a catch can really worth it? If I do use it where should I mount it? Thanks for any feedback.

There are several threads on this topic. Try to do a search for "catch can" in "Under the Hood".
Whether or not it's "worth it" depends on what you do with the car. Street driving - probably not. Tracking the car - yes.
Where to mount it depends on what you've done with your engine bay. Is it stock? If so, you might have to be "creative" to find a place to mount it.

If it's the good one, I'll give you $20 for it.

Oh, BTW, what xviper said is right.

The size of the can only determines how much oil it will hold before you need to empty it. It's the baffling that really counts because this is what separates the oil from the vapour. Unless you track the car and drive it at high cornering g's, you should not be blowing too much oil vapour anyway.
