Default Catch can differences?

Not to start a war, but what are the differences bettween CCA's and Elite Engineerings can? I see that CCA has some kind of fitting on the bottom of the can that Elite does not. Both look like nice products, just stuck on the fence between the two. Thanks for any and all help!

Suspect the fitting on the bottom is a drain valve, so you don't have to disassemble it to drain oil.

They are both pretty similar. Two chamber catch cans with filter media, Ours does have a drain on the bottom. They go together a little different, but function pretty much the same. They are all very nice pieces,

Call me if you have any questions.

Peace

You won't go wrong with either product. Both are top quality.

All you have to do to empty the EE catch can is unscrew the canister - then you have the whole oily mess contained in a receptacle that can be taken away from your car.

I personally don't like the idea of having a drain on the bottom of the can. It could dribble, drip extra oil after emptying, not seal right and douche your motor on the outside with what was just saved from the inside...

But realistically I bet they both work great - I have the EE if ya didn't notice...
