Default WOW (Jeff @ Elite Engineering)

Since I am usually very good about letting companies know when I am not happy with them or their product, I figured that I owe it to one that has done the exact opposite, and what better place than here to show it..

I decided to order a catch can from Jeff over at Elite Engineering. Who the frig cares, right? Well I must say that I was not only happy with the communication from Jeff specifically but DANG, this thing is really put together well! I almost don't want to get the thing all dirty'd up now. It is very well machined, and not just another "can" with two tubes coming out. Pictures will be needed to describe this thing (below)..

Bottom line is THANKS JEFF for a very good customer service expirience, as well as an unbelievable product. You bet I will order again...

That pic is as close as you are getting Nouman..

Tell you what, buy one (send it to my address), stop down on the way to E.G.'s, and I will install it for you...

Congrats C ---

With everyone else who digs the product line from EE as well as the excellent customer service Jeff provides....

It's great to know that out of the countless "poor" vendors, EE & Jeff are reliable. No pressure Jeff! You're one of the good guys...
