A very useful mod which also looks great. I've been doing my bay in CF and bought a Red Catch Can. Looks great.....and you can't beat the engineering quality of the Elite Engineering Team.

I just bought one myself. Hopefully I can carve out enough time to do the install this weekend. I'd like to take the time to upgrade the look of the hoses with those braided sleeves with the anodized fittings.

I have my old catch can which was some kind of compressor filter for over 3 years and maybe it's time to upgrade to one of these.
Looks nice!

That's what I was planning to do also, but it came with all the hoses and hardware and I have lots of other major projects going on now, so the braided wires will have to wait.

Although it looks nice, I bought it for the quality and functionality of it. I think there's a catch can in there.



Project number 2 in background, 454SS pickup, painted bed interior, new headliner, wet sand and buff entire truck, long tube headers, 3" dual exhaust and cats.



Project number 3, 127 cu. in. prostreet, street legal drag bike with Pingel electric shifter, 3" Primo belt drive, remote air cooled oil tank, 260 tire, etc., etc., etc.
