Elite catch can bracket?

I am planning on buying an Elite catch can but not am sure which bracket to get. Which one would you recommend? The supplied bracket or the driver's side bracket or the LFX version? Pictures would help!

Elite's website has some good instructions. I would go with the standard bracket IMHO.

Where did you order it from? I know there are a lot of sponsors here but I want to make sure I get that same exact bracket!

I suggest going with the standard bracket unless you are running the Vararam intake system. Feel free to call, PM or email me with questions. We have them in stock and ready to ship at the lowest price around with the nickle fittings at no extra charge!

hope these help you out. I modified my cover so that I could route the hose under it instead of around it.

Liquid Dragon thanks for posting the picture. And I like the look of the hose going under the cover not around it like I have seen on several videos. Thanks for all the input.

I believe all of the Elite cans for the LFX V6 come with the same bracket. I got mine from Apex and was very pleased with their service.

If you are planning multiple upgrades then you may be able to save a few dollars by purchasing them together. Lots of great forum sponsors here. You can send them a PM with your shopping list and compare prices.

Good luck!

Great idea!

We never thought of that approach when we were testing the new bracket types for Elite.

How did you cut the cover? Your arch looks very symmetric.
