help with Catch Can selection
Ok, so I finally sent in my buyout payment, I don't have the title yet but the car is mine now, no longer a lease.
So we start with the first mods. Which will be a catch can. I know there are a ton off catch can related post on this forum and too be honest I am more confused after reading them. My question isn't whether I should get a catch can, I know that I should. But rather, my question is which catch can? Now i've done a lot of googling and found many catch cans at many different price ranges, from cheapo ebay models to expensive Elite Engineering, RX, and beyond. I don't track my car, it's a daily driver, BUT, I do drive it like I stole it on many occasions. So what catch can should I be getting? Opinions please. Also, I will be looking to paint the catch can to match my car color. Does anyone have experience painting their catch cans? Using VHT Engine enamel. |

Elite engineering catch can is the way to go. I bought the basic one bc that was all they invented at the time. It collects a lot of oil and I don’t even ride my car hard at all. But they do have more choices now and they come in a variety of colors. Not sure on yellow tho..

Elite plus clean your intake valves while you’re at it:
https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=288997 I had 20k miles when I first did and my intake valves were caked with oil. I put an elite can on it right after cleaning it: Elite Engineering - 2nd Gen Catch Can - 2010-2015 Camaro V6 - E2302B-LFX-RH-S-C Colors Black Exit Port Single Exit Port Upgraded Hose Options No Elite Engineering Check Valve No Check Valve Clean-Air Oil Separator Yes I recommend not doing a rattle can job. It never comes out how you want it to. Find yourself a local powdercoater and see if they can powder coat it the color you want. It’s typically cheap to do,very durable, and lasts a long time. |

Thanks guys just ordered the elite yesterday. Don't know if I will be able to clean the intake though for a while. I just don't have time for it right now. 2 kids on swim teams don't leave much time on the weekends for personal projects this large.

On a side note, why does NJ have more toxic waste dumps and CA have more lawyers?
NJ had first pick. |
