Oil catch can

Looking at getting a catch can, saw one from phastek for $90. Any recommendations? Will this one do the job?

Someone told me that since we aren't direct injected and port injected instead, it wasn't very beneficial to us like it is the L99 guys. I have no idea how true that is, but it stopped me from buying one haha.

Im running a Moroso (large size) in polished finish...a little more money but IMHO, I think its the best/cleanest looking can available.

I bought the Phastek catch can. It does the job, but I had to fab up a mounting bracket to place it where I wanted (off the radiator, left side). They suggested mounting it on the air cleaner assembly mounting stud, far right side of the engine compartment, yet didn't even supply hosing long enough to reach that far. Overall, it's worked fine. I'll try and post a pic tomorrow of it.

Tracy Lewis/RX model for American-made. Some RX on the market are chinese knock-offs.

We feel our E2, and E2-X Catch Cans are the best on the market, and also a plug for our friends in Florrida, the Genuine RX or Tracy Lewis signature series.

Take any of the other great looking and quality machined cans you may think are doing a great job and do the "Catchcan Challenge" and you will see at best these only trap 30% or so of what your trying to keep from ingesting. It is not what you see a can catch as even a empty ebay can will trap a good amount, it is what gets past a can to still be ingested. Most cans allow the majority of the compounds and oil mist to pass through them for the most part, and we are happy to provide details on how to test any can.

Simply install one of our E2 or E2-X cans inline AFTER any other brand aside from the ones we mention, and run your car for 1000 miles (make sure both are clean of all gunk first to be fair) and then measure what each caught. Then clean both again and reverse the order so the E2 or E2-X are first in line and the other can second. You will find while the Elite E2 or E2-X caught as much or more as the first can showing how poorly they actually work, almost nothing gets past the E2 or E2-X. That simple. No games, no gimmicks, your doing the test on your car and the variables are eliminated. Only accurate right there for you to see personally, and most will be shocked that assume the can they are running is addressing the issues when they are little more than placebo's.

Try it. This is the only way to accurately demonstrate as all claim to be the "best".
