Besides Elite and RX is there any other catch cans that are cheaper ? I know you get what you pay for but really how hi tech does a catch can have to be ? I was just wondering if anyone here has used a universal one ?

Is it really worth cheapening out on this? For what it does, if you get something that is cheaper and doesn't work as well, then why have it in the 1st place?

I have the Elite and I have to say that the installation was very easy. Perhaps the cheaper catch cans might not be as simple to install.

If she's real pretty, but can't cook or clean.......
Never be fooled into thinking price equates with how good something can perform.

Buyer's choice.

Most "catch cans" on the market are simply empty cans with fittings on them. Sure, they'll catch some oil, but not nearly all the oil. The Elite catch cans have a 3 stage system to help condense the oil and prevent it from continuing on down the line. I have said it before, but I'd be willing to bet an Elite Can down-stream of an ebay universal can will catch as much or more oil than the universal can. In this case, you really get what you pay for.

Best regards,

I was very skeptical about buying and installing a catch can but I have to say, it is collecting a considerable amount of oil .....

saikou michi, but as the sizes go up, so does the price. A large can costs as much as the RX or Elite ones.

rtcat600man · 07-10-2014, 09:56 PM

Yes, you will get what you pay for. Go with one of the big companies you mentioned.

My RX set-up pulls approx. 1 oz. per 1000 miles traveled.
