Racetronix dual catch cans.

Has anyone seen this thing? Looks like a decent option to clean and dirty side in a compact little unit. Comes with dipsticks for each tank. I wonder if it's any good?

I'm waiting for the triple can version rumored to be coming out in the Fall.

Triple? Why? What more is needed other than the clean and dirty side? Basically before and after the TB...

If one's good, two's gotta be better! It's like the razor (blade) wars, "F-it, we're going to 5!"

LOL...

I'm already running an Elite dirty side and the stock 1LE clean side. My eventual plans will need new valve covers. I won't be able to use the 1LE "can". So I'm trying to figure my options.

Just picked up my 6 pack of catch can lite. It's better for me with less alcohol.

I really like that setup. Looks well made and really built. When people look at your engine they can honestly say "...Look at the cans on that!..."

Beautiful in quality and appearance, and good idea addressing both the clean and dirty side, but in testing still comes in at a fraction of the overall effectiveness due to internal design being so small (app 1 qt internal volume is minimum to prevent oil pulling back out no matter the design, that is simple flow dynamics and science).


Beautiful in appearance though.....but there are several scientific flow principles that have to go into any Catch Cans's design to reach acceptable effectiveness in air/oil separation, and without applying each of these into a "catchcans" design, there is no way to achieve a system that separates and retains nearly all of the oil and other damaging compounds required for true benefit.

So basically I'll get a second set up from you guys when the time comes. I've been pleased with my single Elite can for the last 30K+ miles.

Frankly looks kind of small, whats with the tits where the AN fittings have to go is that for the stupid dip sticks? and WTF why side by side you have to route the whole thing to one location and one is not really a catch can on the one side but more of a accumulator that allows it flow back in the Camaro clean side seperator so?... Just a few of the problems, sure it looks clean and nice but kind of just another can for any application you may want to try to make it fit on..... and then discover the deal is its not the best for yours.
