Arrow Pick a CATCH CAN

Hey guys, I've been getting some puddling or at least a pretty good amount of oil coating inside my intake manifold lately. The car seems to barely use any oil. But I'm guessing I need a catch can to help fix the problem...

Below are some of the catch cans I've heard of...

Lemme know which one you like, and please give an explanation as to why it's better than the others. Or which ones are comparable and work correctly.


RevExtreme


AMW


Adrenaline




Saikou Michi


Elite Engineering


Mike Norris






lemme know if I'm missing any catch cans that you guys recommend and I'll add them to the list...

The plastic small air compressor unit will trap a small amount, but the vast majority will still get into the intake. Tp be completely effective you need a decent size, it must be metal (AL preferred) for the heat dissipation to condense the vapors/mist to droplets, and have an effective baffel system that prevents droplets from being pulled through.

I think that they would all work the same. The real question is, which one has the best and easiest install?

I think the Norris Motorsports one bolts up right against the head. I like this.

That elite one looks really nice, looks like a good setup as well. Little on the pricey side but if it works good I'll buy it.

Currently, the only two effective catch can manufacturers on the market are Saikou Michi or RevXtreme.

I was hoping you would chime in... you seem really informed in the catch cans.

It might be a Mike Norris but I bought it from a sort of unknown vendor so I'm not sure. They're are not a sponsor so I don't want to post the link.
