Elite Engineering Catch Can install

This was the easiest bolt on to date that I've every done. Took 30 mins for EVERYTHING. I even took out the EVAP lines and sensors. The only thing I was dissapointed with is it didn't include the locking washer for the long stud to be screwed into the ground. Does anybody know what size it is? I'll probably pick one up at Lowes eventually and install it later. I'll give it about 900 miles when I change all my fluids to write up my review on it.

FINE. I was going to wait for the review, but I'll post the the pics of them and the test drive afterwards. I upgraded the fittings to the chrome finish instead of the bronze. I think it looks 100% better that way. Sorry for the poor quality hood shots. It was dark in the garage and there were people asking for pictures of it too early. Better quality pics will be posted during the review.

So the design has been improved?? I read from another forum member that they had a nightmare installing one of these. I definitely want it to be my next purchase if all is well with the product.

I think they had a problem with a supplier slightly changing a design without them knowing. They have that all fixed up now and it's a very slick install.
