I have GHL bullets, classic deep tones at idle, no drone and not loud at cruising. I have been on the highway next to 81Wayne and his Corsas have an awesome bark when he stands on it, they bark louder than my GHLs. I am not running headers either (yet). The GHLs cost me just under $1000.
Its all good, just have been busy with house renovations. I have to finish off the renovations before summer roles around so that I can buy my next toy (I believe its called compromise when your married)

My 01 uses a bit of oil, so far my catch can has been working well. I made 3 of them, sold 1 and if I am satisfied with the performance, the third will be for sale as well.
:nono: "vs. a fancy looking kit off the net for $200)"
- Its a Corvette, it has to look good under the hood (I think...
In simple terms, its a filter between the PCV valve and the intake. Engines produce internal pressure in the crank case area and it is relieved through the PCV system, it (internal gasses and oil mist) is piped through the PCV valve and into the intake manifold and used for combustion. The...
Here is the oil that was trapped and not put into the intake. This is about 300km worth of filtering.
The can unscrews for easy inspection and cleaning.
Last winter I started building an oil catch can (I made 3). I finished up and have one installed on the car now with about 300km on it. Here are some pictures.
This winter I would like to improve the look under the hood by changing the hoses and clamps on the catch can, I might even...
