New ZL1, have a question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just purchased a 2013 BRM ZL1 with 25k miles. I have been reading about catch cans and have decided to get one. I can't seem to find one from Apex, but I can get an Elite. Those of you that have an Elite, how do you like the quality? Just looking for some direction and advice. Thanks in advance.

I went with elite , an fittings and rubber hoses , also the clean air oil separater

Works well as far as I can tell... Have one on my truck also...

Kgarner1624 · 02-20-2016, 08:09 PM

Or the RX catch can?

polarisiq93 · 02-20-2016, 08:11 PM

I have the elite e2, does the job

I heard the mickey mouse one is the best

I initially installed the standard Elite can and later swapped it out for the E2. If you do decide to purchase an Elite can, I would highly recommend the E2 over the standard size. I think the E2 offers some distinct advantages for supercharged engines.

Single exit or dual exit ports

So many options lol

No issues with the Moroso can and I like how and where it mounts.

MYLSA · 03-02-2016, 04:20 PM

Excuse my ignorance but as a new owner of a 2014 ZL1 (18k miles) why do I want or need a catch can? I understand the philosophy of what a catch can does but do we really need these on a stock motor? Again excuse my ignorance just trying to truly understand if this should be something I need to do...thanks

You don't need one.
