Default Catch cans...

I have been going back through the "archives" on this forum looking into catch cans. There are some nice items out there for sure.

I am looking for suggestions (as I have with other external items) for a catch can that looks good and isnt REAL pricey. I wuld also like something that will mount without having to fab up something. I am no longer s/c so space is not a real problem.


pics w/b great.. I am leaning towards chrome or red..

Thanks in advance for the assist..

The most economical can, is the one made by Mike Norris. Although it keeps going up in price, its still wayyy better than the others. They started out around 79 bucks about a year ago. After a bunch of the retail websites got ahold of them, they have gotten up to around 85-100 bucks.
The next one I would go with is the Elite engineering can. It is definately worth the money. Not to mention Elite has the best customer service you can get anywhere. Their about 140 bucks..

Chrome is pricey...but...

(not a great pic)


If you want a chrome one, send a PM to Jason, Cajundude of Gulf Coast Performance... as far as I know, the only turn-key source for a chromed version.

This is the Mike Norris can, and I think Jason sells them (chromed) for $250, including chrome bracket and fittings.

He also sells the same cans in the usual anodized colors too for $90.
