The mike Norris can is one of the better designs. Can go wrong with it.

The link you posted shows a bottom draining Mike Norris can. So other than capacity it looks externally very similar to the RX can.

In the installed location it looks like it would be a pain to get to the valve. RX usually mounts theirs in an easier to access location.

Internally they are very different.

I do not know about the Norris can or it's available mount points. Sorry.

I worked with Elite to help design their mount on the LFX engine cover bracket. So I know it is possible to mount the cans in such a location. Whether Norris makes a bracket like that is another issue.

Do be aware with a bottom draining can, you have to secure the drain tube so it does not come into contact with moving parts.

Check the Elite Can out. It has a screw off bottom.

When it comes to catch cans, the sooner the better.

Should be installed ASAP if you plan on keeping the car for a long time.
