Catch Can

Since there are so many options I was just wondering which catch can everyone recommends?

You can't go wrong with Elite Engineering or Apex's. There are some other catch can's on the market that I have no experience with so I'll let others chime in on those.

Elite Engineering. They've been doing it for a long time and manufacture very high quality products. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.

Best regards,

Everyone will recommend the one that they are using, as they/we always do when we respond to this question on here.

These kinds of threads tend to turn into a survey of what the members online at any particular moment have on there car with very little substance about what is at the heart of the questions. Check out the thread below. I wrote it and others like it to help members make informed decisions about what parts to use on their car. Give it a look and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

We have been selling and installing a lot of our cans lately, we are very happy with the results. We put a lot of time and effort into the design, fit and finish. Our brackets are LS-specific and powdercoated black for a clean finish. No pipe threads or brass fittings; all of our fittings are high quality black Fragola AN -6 pushlock - which means no hose clamps either. Our filter media is non-metallic, it will never rust or potentially send debris through your engine. Goodyear 3/8 black pushlock hose is supplied as well. The design of our can includes a wall in the upper section which forces the vapors downward, trapping any oil in the bottom half. The bottom half is tapped and plugged, you can either unscrew the plug or the whole half of the can to drain it.

Here's a few pics as well,







Here's a link if you would like to check it out on our site - PCM of NC Catch Can.
