I've seen the set up many times in a race application, they just dump into the headers, but in a street application, that would obviously be unacceptable because of the unavoidable oil that would end up in the exhaust stream.

Thoughts?

"catch cans"

Greddy makes a nice one.



This will keep oil out of the intake tract while still allowing proper crankcase ventilation
