The $599 price includes everything for the install right? Lines and connectors and can? I assume so, just curious.

$600 for a catch can? That has to be a typo.... right?
It is a small metal can, a few fittings and some line. I could see $100-200 if it was billet, but for a welded sheet metal box? $600?
Come on people....

These are hand fabricated and TIG welded. Not some machine produced, spool gun welded crap. As someone that can TIG weld aluminum sheet quite well, let me tell you that this is not a quick process to do correctly. Aluminum has to be super clean and consumables are not cheap.
There is a reason that sheet metal valve covers and sheet metal intakes are so expensive, fabrication takes skill and time to make it look that nice.

See, to make this Chevy fast, we had to add a little bit of Ford into the mix.

There's 150 bucks in fittings and braided hose alone.. I am a fabricator by trade. I know what it costs in material and time to make this. I recently bought one of these for a customer's C7, and the quality is second to none.. Weld-in -an fittings, black anodized swivel -an hose ends, and Russel braided line. Then, a properly baffled, TIG welded tank with 2 cnc machined hose barbs for the filters. Add the filters in on top of that.. There's 500 bucks worth of material, labor, and welding supplies to properly build these.
If you want the a cheap overseas-made catch can, then go buy one. This is not cheaply made, and it's one of the few that get the job done properly.

People are so quick to dismiss the "fab" part of things. I'm sure you've had people look at you funny when you tell them how much time and money it costs to build something from scratch. lol

I've been working on getting the crankcase fumes re-routed, and I know Ron @ VR is working on another solution.
These are absolutely ideal for a heavily boosted car - I don't see any reason to use them (over a traditional catch can) without boost. Just my opinion as one of the first adopters of this product.
$600 is a great price compared to the initial cost, and the $50 for powder coating is about half the price of what I paid. As stated before, there's around $150 to $200 of hardware included in addition to the can.

Will this LMR setup eliminate the need to run the lines into the air box? why not run rubber hoses where the breather filters are on the LMR set up and place the filters somewhere away from the cabin air intake. Like letting the dog **** in someone else's yard. I can't smell it....so I am good. your thoughts and updates are appreciated. I was told of an obvious fix but not practical...turn the recirculate on and don't pull in outside air...not practical in central Illinois.

any update on the crankcase fumes?? I am sold on the setup except for the breather fumes that enter the car at the cabin intake vent right behind the breather exhaust. I have the ecs system and my only complaint is the fumes. I think the fumes are coming from the blow-off exhaust. the CAI air is now contaminated with fumes as the pcv lines connect directly to the air box...which obviously supplies air to the SC and eventually some exits the blow off. I have considered attaching a rubber hose over the blow-off valve and routing it to the rear of the car or at least below the car somewhere behind the engine bay but not sure if this will create any problems with performance.
