1) Not necessary, but depending on how long you are going to keep the car it can be recommended as it increases the longevity of the engine. Or in other words keeps it cleaner longer.

2) Dealers will not sell a catch can. There are many brands claiming they are the best, I recently ordered a Mishimoto for my SS. After conversion and shipping it is costing me $360.

Before you decide on anything, talk to your dealer and ask "I'm thinking about adding a catch can will that cause any problems for warranty?" And see what their reaction is, if it's negative then I suggest waiting for warranty to expire or find another dealership.

I talked to mine before I purchased and he said "you can do any modification you want, however, if the mod is determined to be the cause of the failure of X then it wont be covered". I have a good relationship with my dealer as we send them a lot of trucks to be serviced there, so being honest with them and talking to the head service guy is the way to go.

Hope this helps
