Look, I'm not trying to choose sides but...….if buying the best was the only option this would be a Lamborghini forum not a Chrysler Crossfire forum. I have and continue to spend money with vendors who bend over backwards to help us Crossfire owners. I trust them to sell us quality parts. However I think there are some things that can be done on a tighter budget. The car was engineered to "burn up" the extra gunk anyway. My car has 75000 miles on it running without one so why should I even consider one now......because all the cool kids have one that's why. I know people use them and yes they do trap junk so one can say yes I need one. If it doesn't work then I'm sure he will let us know.
Tom My 1976 Ranger had excessive pvc blow by bad enough that oil would drip out of the air filter housing. I made a catch can out of a large HI-C can and a couple layers of paint booth fiberglass filter material. It worked well except that driving on the interstate the pressure would over whelm the system I made. I made a 1/2 copper pipe exhaust for the system, run it out to the back bumper and switched back and forth depending on where I was going. I was young and poor at the time.
