Any other Catch Can options besides RevXtreme?

I like the looks, price, and what seems to be easy install of RevXtreme's catch can but I'm a little nervous about ordering anything from them.

Anyone know of another mfg of a catch can that is similar in price and functionality?

Multiple calls....no returns. Emails un-answered. Then I saw in a previous thread where someone didn't get their bracket and basically got the run around for about 4 wks before getting their bracket.

I'm not saying their products are bad by any means. I'm just concerned about the whole customer service thing.

Thanks...I might check into it but want to see what others might come up with first that are specifically made for the Camaro.

I had no issues with the ordering or receiving. They did forget the oil cap filter I had ordered and they were very good about getting back to me and shipping it - after acknowledging they forgot it.

No problems...

Just don't bother cutting or getting any additional hoses. Just remove the short squiggly line altogether and hook the supplied tubes to both sides

Thanks....I may still order from them if I can ever get them to answer the phone or call me back. I leave messages and get no callback. I've sent emails and still haven't heard anything. This is what scares me about ordering from them. If there is an issue I'm afraid I won't be able to get in touch with them to get it addressed.

Can one of you that put yours on send me a couple pics of where I would plug the can into. I've seen other pics but they are close ups. I'm trying to get a broader idea of where the line is that I need to unplug.

I think the instructions are pretty good - plus, if you find the RevExtreme thread on the forum, they give you the updated LS3 engine pics. Very easy install...you just don't need any extra tubes...

I worked with elite engineering to make a bracket that would fit the Camaro. They are in the process of machining the first run of brackets and I really think its going to be a great product in the end. It's very easy to install and will look really nice. You can check out eliteengineeringusa.com and I'll also update this thread with the finished product once I have it in my hands. They make a ton of products for the corvette and will be doing the same for the camaro. I also think they are going to run a special on it for c5 members once the brackets are done as their product costs a bit more than the revxtreme one.

Is there any basic time frame for this?

Spoke with and ordered my can from RevExtreme today. Went with the unfinished version, to match my custom washer bottle (per your suggestion, Caverman.)
