Default ADD W1 Catch Can

Anyone ever heard of this brand or have experience with them? It popped up while I was YouTubing. I’d been considering adding one and I’m impressed with the looks. Any thoughts?

Not gonna lie but that looks like that $20 catch can I bought a few years ago on Ebay and it works great.

Well these guys are definitely not selling them for 20 bucks. The can with hoses and in the carbon is going for like $280...

My car has an Elite Engineering catch can. Unfortunately, those aren't inexpensive, either.

Unless your engine bay is covered in carbon fiber I think it looks a little odd.

For that price it better outperform a lot of the other heavy hitters.

I went from a cheap Chinese can to a used Elite Engineering can and have been happy with it's performance. Most notably the Elite can doesn't weep or leak anywhere.

If you add the hoses, color matched clamps and do the can in carbon it adds up to the 280.

I planned on doing some carbon accents since the car is pewter. I thought it might look good. The can would be the first carbon piece under the hood though.

It is a pretty good looking catch can, but unfortunately no idea just how well it works. I ran an Elite Engineering catch can on my C5 - works very well.

I've got the Mighty Mouse catch can - about the same price range as the one you are looking at:

1) Research what a catch can is and how it functions.
2) Research various cans and specifically what the internals look like (if no pictures of the internals or some sort of diagram...run away from it). While a CC is not rocket science, there are inherent features inside that make some work better than others and why some don't work at all.
3) Decide on what one to buy.

Elite Engineering or Mighty Mouse. Proven time and time again. Don't listen to things like "XXXX brand catch can works the best". Each motor/build/driving style is different and the can will catch more or less accordingly.

Look up Mighty Mouse on YT for example and watch his demonstration/testing videos. The amount of effort into designing and quantifying that design is worth it.
