Default Elite Engineering PCV Catch Can

Ordered a catch can last week. Got it yesterday and reviewed the directions. Installed in under 30 minutes from when I first opened the box.

I was on the fence on ordering one for several months because I didn't see paying $150 for a "can". This thing is not just a can, it's a very high quality piece and is a functional compliment to my engine compartment.

Aside from the obvious advantages of not having oil in your intake, this part looks great under the hood. If you're thinking about getting one, pull the trigger. I doubt you'll regret it.

Thanks Elite!

I've had my EE catch can for about 6K miles and although it's a little pricey I like the item, think it's worth the $ and 'am amazed at the amount of oil captured by it.

Don't you just LOVE how finely made the threads are? I am amazed at the quality of this product every time I empty it.......and you are right, installs so easily too........I think its the only way to go as far as a catch can...I would not want to try to empty my can with a petcock on the bottom into a cup like some others.........

Just ordered a red catch can from EE today. Can't wait to get it and do the install. Looks like a real quality product.
