Looks great! Was that a kit or did you piece it together? Did the can come in blue?

It's a kit. Hoses that came with it are crap, but fuel line hoses are cheap at local auto parts store. It came in the anodized blue. I can PM you the link where I got it. It wasn't from a forum vendor.

Ebay $25 and the blue hose that come with is garbage and should never be used.

Actually I didn’t get it on EBay. But price was about the same so six of one, half doz of the other. Absolutely agree about the hoses. I also had to buy a mounting bracket for it too. 20 bucks. Was going to make one, but for $20 it wasn’t worth my time. Hey, I appreciate your you tube vids. Some of them are very helpful.

Just thought I would add in my version of the same catch can. $25 for the catch can. $13 for the other parts pictured. I just wanted the hoses facing the intake is why I did it my way.

Parts used

After install

With covers in place
