I ordered BT catch can directly from BT 9 days ago, stillhas not been shipped, now they have 20 days lead time just for standard one, no fancy finishes.
That's what I did, as well. It took awhile. It's worth it, IMO.
^^^ make sure the screw is tight on drain lever. Mine ended up on the road somewhere
Wide range there. You speak of what are last talking about or what brand to buy?

I just received my Billett Technology Catch Can for the Hemi. I had one on my 2011 so installing this was very similar to that one.
First, remove the intake tube along with removing the connector. You can set it to the side as it you don't have to remove it completely. It just makes access easier.
Second, remove the Hemi plastic cover. It has two torx screws which takes a T30 socket/T-handle.
Third, remove the PCV hose, it slides out of each end with a little bit of force. Be careful on the rear one especially. Make sure you support the elbow rubber connector so you don't rip it.
You can do the next steps in various order. I ended up dry fitting the hose connections which you can see in the pic. of the rear connection here. However, it is much easier if you insert into one end of the hose to ensure it goes completely on.
Next, install the Z bracket which installs with the spacer on the engine block. I didn't tighten it completely because I wanted to see how the hoses line up. Once you're satisified, go ahead and tighten the bolt which is a 13mm.
The red box shows the threaded hole where the bolt screws into.
I then trimmed the hoses to fit on the catch can fittings. I used a PVC pipe cutter that I use for sprinkler repair. Don't cut them too short (duh)!
I used the loop that keeps the PCV tube secure as an anchor point with a zip tie to keep everything secure.
I then installed the catch can itself.
Now reinstall the intake tube and don't forget the connector!
And the hardest part for me was to get that **** cover back on. It's hard to line up the rear posts into the rubber grommets because you can't see back there. After a few choice words I got it back in place. Reinstall the screws and you're done.
I did start the engine to ensure I didn't get a CEL which I did not.
Hope this helps.
Just be patient, take your time, remove front first, play it around, eventually it will come off. I struggled with it as well and eventually used flat screw drivers or similar tool to help creat movement between hose and plastic tube part.
Exactly what I said right before your post
