so i know this topic has been http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/images/smilies/deadhorse.gif but i have decided to make my own oil catch can. here are my two methods including routing, please make comments as to which method is better/cleaner
1. make a catch can that resembles the greddy one...basically a 3d rectangle with two fittings and a drain fitting at the bottom. a line will run from the left hand side of the valve cover(like stock) to one fitting, another line will run from the other fitting to the intake pipe(stock) configuration.

2. make a catch can that resembles the JM fabrications one with a filter on the top. one line will run from the left hand side of the valve cover(like stock) to one fitting, and the intake pipe nipple will be capped off.

which method is better (are both methods even correct routing?), and if i use 1/8" thick sheet metal will i need to have the inside powder coated or plated somehow to prevent rust?
hopefully this will turn out good, i'd like to use ss lines and some good fittings and have it all polished/powder coated. if it turns out well, i'm going to make a coolant overflow as well.
