V6 LLT questions for the gang!

Happy Monday everbody! Well. I just started finishing up some upgrades on my LLT and have a few questions/Opinions on other future modifications for my car. So, if you have or had experience with any of the following questions please chine in.

1. RX catch can with oil cap breather: What is the concensus on this part with LLT owners? Yea or Nay?

2. HEX Vents: Good addition? Water issues even with the tray?

3. Oracle afterburner SMD lighting: Worth the looks? Easy to do?

4. Any other options on fog lights for the LS besides OE?

Thank you for all you time! Here's a picture of what she looks like for now, more to come!

Catch can with a breather is a great investment.

Catch Can is a must ! There are a few really good ones out there. I went with a custom saikou michi catch can. They are widely used on higher end cars but is great for catching oil due to their muti- Stage catching. www.saikoumichi.com
On the fog lights, for my LS I went with the BFxenon kit. They use oem housings for an oem fit. I had HIDs installed but have seen the LED version and they look great also.

No I think it's $300 because you already have the cable.

I want some new mods but my most recent mod (still need to install it) completely wiped me out. I did rip off my red stripes and put some black hash marks on the car
Only racing I really do is drag, Hoping the added power from the headers and the loss of some rotational weight from the rotors will show a good improvement.

1. Yay. I would look into the elite catch can as well though. I like the elite more because of the way it is drained.

2. Yes, great addition. With the water trays, you should be good. A bunch of members have them and have had them through terrible thunderstorms and they said it was all good.

3. Depends on what you like. There was a product someone found on the internet that is the same as the oracle one but instead of showing all the light LED dots, it's a nice line of light. I'll see if I can find it and link it real quick.

4. You can do whatever you want with your fogs. If you order the RS fog light bezels, all you need is a 4" fog light housing and they will fit. I did that with mine and only ended spending about 40 dollars in total.

Car looks great by the way!

I know headers help top end so you should see a pretty good improvement there. I feel like our cars need more top end. When I race a guy who has an SS at the track, I keep up with him pretty much the whole way until the end when he takes me. If I had a little more top end, I could take him. I've beat him 3 times already but everytime, he's either gaining by the end or passes me.

I agree with you guys on the catch can. I wouldn't do RX if I had it to do over again simply because it's a pain to drain it.

Thanks you! I'll definetly look in to the ELITE catch can. Let me know if you find the link for LED dots for the brake lights.

Cool can't wait to see how I do when I go back out with all the new mods

Thanks for reminding me, here's the link for the afterburners. They look a lot better than the AAC ones (my opinion) and aren't as expensive either

Really? I never looked into the elite CC so I wouldn't know. What makes it so easy?

Its designed so you can unscrew the bottom half of the can. So it's a lot easier to do than the way you empty the rx one

Oh sweet, I could see that being a problem if it has more oil than the half way point though, haha.
