I've got the JLT on mine. The fit and finish is good, and the part comes 100% assembled. When I said it took 12 seconds to install, I wasn't kidding. I had originally bought the Steeda unit which required "assembly" but never got around to installing it. They pissed me off so I didn't want anything made by them on my car, and I sold it brand new in the box on eBay for a $5 loss then ordered the JLT instead. So far so good, it seems to work as it collects oil. The Steeda unit looked nice by the way, the fittings were of seemingly better quality.

I installed the JLT unit last week. Honestly it didnt make sense to me to get any other brand. the JLT snaps right in place as the stock unit, it looks like its supposed to be there from the factory and took 20 seconds to install. I installed Steeda charge motion delete plates a few weeks back and my stock flaps on the oem plates were COMPLETELY black from oil residue. I ordered the JLT oil separator that night cause it made me sick. No brainer Ford should do this from the factory no question. ill try and post a pic of my stock plates it will amaze you

Steeda's oil separators reduce detonation, oil burning and deposits on the valves by removing oil drawn through the PCV system before it can contaminate the intake charge.
Excess crankcase pressure (sometimes known as "blow-by") is vented from the crankcase through the PCV system, where it is drawn into the intake manifold and returned by the engine. This re-circulated air contains aerated oil from the crankcase which is burned by the engine. It is typically excessive on forced induction applications.
We've got a nice looking billet one that I actually have on my '06 GT and wish I would have had one on it since the day I bought it now. I was surprised at how much oil it collected.
