best catch can

As you know by reading my recent post i added a whipple on my build and i'm very happy. I had a moroso catch can before and i read it is not the best combo with the whipple.

which catch can on the market is the best match with this supercharger?

I've personally ran Elite, RX and MM. Only can I would touch now is the MM can.

Both other cans had major performance or reliability issues. The MM can works, and has zero issues.

I know at least 3 others that have all switched from Elite or RX to MM and are very very happy to finally get a system that works properly.

just wondering what kind of issues we talking about? Seems like a no brainer on a catch can.

RX leaked, and fitting broke off since they were just glued in. For the price it was ridiculous cheaply put together.

RX was pretty, but blew out two rear main seals. The single 3/8" vent line is not enough for any decent power level. It can work ok for a lower power setup, but why not get a MM can that can work from stock to 1500+hp compared to one that taps out way earlier. You could get around that by running 2 or 3 of them, but then the cost is sky high, and where are you mounting 2-3 catchcans.

When someone gets on here and spews off how their can will support 1000hp, or whatever, that is complete BS. How much it can support depends on each motor. Certain motors have more blow by. As you increase power, and use forced induction, the ammount of air that needs to vent is amazing. If you saw my MM can on a dyno, it is amazing how much comes out of it. Even with dual 3/8 line I was still seeing excessive crank case pressure, and had to upgrade to 1/2" lines with another 3/8". Now zero crank case issues.

Mighty Mouse also, made the mistake or going with apex because they were reccomended on this forum. I blew out my rear main the first pass I made after installing it called Mighty Mouse he got the setup I needed sent out and haven't had a problem since.
