Catch can collects the oil that is being pumped through your PCV valve. Without a catch can, oil is routed through the PCV and dumped into your intake manifold. This oil builds on inside your intake and gunks up your throttle body as well. On top of this, it mixes with your fuel, and lowers the octane rating of the fuel. The catch can simply collects this oil and prevents it from making its way into the intake manifold.

If you look at the link posted above, you will also see a youtube video showing the installation process.

That would explain why they recommend a tune up every 30k

I have the one from Moe's. It is a machined sculpture. It's too pretty to be hidden under the hood.

I dumped mine out the other day. I'm glad all that octane robbing garbage didn't go thru my engine. If you can't tell, I like mine a lot!

I will end up getting on for sure.. Be like a month or so though

This is also why people use sea foam to clean the inside of the intake.

Welp.. This may or may not be one of the first things I do..
