Yes. Have them in most any color you could want. Solids or Mettalics. The 2010/2011 colors are some pretty custom looking!

Those that have gotten their V6 cans, let me know how the bracket fits. Have had 2 say it is to short....need feedback as we based it off the first install we did. If it is to short, please measure and let me know how much longer it needs to be & I'll send out a new one.

Mine was fine, matte black, looks like it belongs there.

That clear tube on the bottom. Does that stay on in the engine bay or do you take it off then reapply when you drain it?

Just leave it on. You can take a zip/cable tie and loosely attach it to something so it doesn't flap around. The important part is LOOSELY so that it will twist freely when you want to empty it.

So if our engines already have ingested oil in them, is there a way to clean it out b4 we install our catch cans? Or does it get burned off?.....(sorry I'm new at this, first car, and barely learning everything about whats under the hood)

You probably can't clean it all off without taking the heads off. However, unless you have a lot of miles i wouldn't worry about it. It probably hasn't built up enough to be too concerned. Just put the can on and wait until you do a cam job

GearHeadPeter · 02-25-2011, 05:15 PM

How many miles is a lot as I have only 6K on my 2011? Thx

Jaime068 · 02-25-2011, 05:20 PM

Both are fine. If you had 40-50K then I would say you would have enough crud built up that you might as well wait for some other excuse to crack open the engine and clean it. I had about 5K on mine when I installed the catch can.
