Ok so i have decided to go with either a RX catch can and Oil breather, or the Vmax ported throttle body. but the issue is i don't really know much about the throttle bodies. I'm reading all these threads and they say that the TB's are you best investment for the money but Catch Cans help preserve your engine. I have a 2010 and it has 24k on it now. So you guys that have domes this already, or have both let me know what you think. Also who is the best to purchase the TB from and get it painted. p.s. I'm in the military so maybe there is a military discount, and its going to a APO address shipping.

I have a ported tb and a catch can. Tb took a few weeks to have done and the catch can was a good investment. I would do both. I wouldn't have it painted, most of it is covered any ways, thats just my opinion. Guten tag!

If you get a TB, check out the Vmax. It's supposed to be good for a few HP/TQ, which some people say is debatable, BUT you will notice an increase in throttle response. For 150 bucks, it's hard to go wrong. The catch can, on the other hand, isn't going to make your car feel any better.

I would do the catch can first. It won't give you any better performance, but if you put in a shiny new TB it will just get gunked up with oil because you're not running a catch can.
