Default oil catch can

Ive been wanting to make a nice aluminum oil catch can for my car.
I was wondering if anybody knows if there is anything special inside a boughten one say a greddy style?

I was hoping it was just a box with an inlet and a vent.

any thoughts?

Put some steel wool inside. It doesnt have to be "jammed-packed". Steel wool acts as both baffle and minimizes mist.

I made one before using an old receiver-drier and a few of those kitchen scouring pads made of the razorwire-looking stuff.

I woulda made my own but came by a cheap Greddy one. I got some steel wool at wal-mart and shuved it in there, helps out especially if your running it to the pre turbo intake
