Default Catch can alternative?

Does anyone have any recommendations for eliminating oil blow-by for my maggied LS6? I noticed oil on my IAT sensor and have put catch cans in place but they look out of place and I would much rather get rid of them.

Are there any ways of doing this without having to run these ugly catch cans? It's bad enough having so many hoses and wires running all over the engine compartment.

Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the billet catch cans from Mike Norris? I have one, it's a very nice piece.

I purchased two catch cans just like Mikes. I really don't have room for them without having hoses running everywhere.

It will look ridiculous with so many hoses routed around the engine bay. There isn't a lot of room under the CTS-V engine compartment as it is. With the addition of the magnacharger their is even less.

I have had to run the home depot catch cans for now until I can come up with another method.

You could go old school and run a puke hose right to the ground. Wouldn't pass smog if they caught it. You would want to run a small filter since you still have a PCV valve.

Would there be a benefit running a filter on the DS valve cover and keeping the PS valve cover running the pcv to the intake?

I am pretty sure I would have to run a one-way check valve on the DS with the filter to eliminate the vacuum issues.
