What's comical is that guys will spend more money on car care products, leather conditioner, wax, etc than a catch can would cost even though "it will be a trade in after warranty" - those same owners denounce the benefits of a catch can without ever having tried one...if you run one, you know what they catch, and why you would rather not have that going through your intake tract and across your intake valves.

After seeing the GM truck V8's with intakes off, I run one, even if the benefit is only slight - it's certainly not causing my engine to run worse.
