No burnouts!

Well guys sorry to say but I won't be going tomorrow!

I have issues with my catch can check valve making a bad noise. I talked to Tracy at RX and he said to replace the NPT elbow with a standard fitting that doesn't have the valve but I can't find one locally. I bypassed the catch can but the engine runs like it's on the low octane table. My tuner says I HAVE to run with the catch can in because that's the way it's tuned!

So tomorrow I'll spend the day trying to track down a fitting that will fit! I have no time tonight to do it! Have fun everyone!

I experienced that last fall. I drifted a corner I was usually velcro'ed to. I was surprised, but it was fun.

(Again, again!)
Good thing there was no oncoming traffic. My rear was hanging over a little.

Mike is he gonna mail one to you ASAP? I have 3 catch cans with a bunch of parts. I haven't put one on my car yet.

But tomorrow I can send out what elbows I have (2) here with me, I have a bunch in my Camaro. Let me know if someone's going out your way

I will gladly make sure Mike gets the parts you have for him (ASAP) if I am needed.

I will bring them. Always trying to helping out.

NPT elbow works fine did a air check on it. There my oldest ones, cause new era has my other two cans but they work perfect and it will give u time to order new.
