Can is not can though. Depending on what it's made out of there can be lots of wear.

 

Curious about this too. I wonder how costly it would be to substitute the rubber hoses with either SS or nylon braided instead of regular rubber. If anything at least for the aesthetic value.

 

Aluminum? perhaps its stainless that would definitely raise the price, but is heavier

 

I don't think the weight is going to make a difference there.

 

no it wont lol just saying

 

Lol now I guess it's time to get the money together to send the balt off to MI for alot of ZZP stuff.

 

doesn't any catch can work? just a matter on how you mount it and the proper size hoses you get from the hardware store??? I got my Greddy one on, but didn't know where to mount it so took it out and slapped a breather on. IMO $110 is a little pricey for a water-air separator

 

thats i what thought, I bought one and just taped a 3/8 barb on the top for a breather, But I read that some cans have internal baffles and some dont, which increases the price.

 

oh no no no, catch cans are not created equal. I'm waiting to see the inside of this mpx one

 

are u seriously arguing that minute amounts of oil dropping into a can is going to cause wear so bad that u feel the need to spend 100+ on what u can get for like 9.50 shipped on ebay? '

lol hilarious.

 

haha you'd be surprised the amount of oil I had in my intake and turbo when I installed my k&n intake with only 9k miles on my car...

 

My intake system to this day 2 years and 45000kms later still completely dry intake.charge system.but ill prolly buy one

 

pull it off the turbo and see if any is sitting in the turbo inlet...mine had a little puddle starring at me with only 9k miles.

 

So what makes a good can?

 

when i was installing my new valve cover and catch can and BOV i saw a little bit of oil under the intake so im thinking this was a good buy...everything installed seems to be working fine no leaks on the valve cover yet. came with new gaskets and everything so seems all is well...SO FAR..still need a tune bad but Haza will be hooking that up soon so i should be running awesome in no time

 

I removed a bud's lower CP yesterday and when I got the pipe off OMFG!!! I saw quite a bit of oil lacing the inside of the pipe on both ends! I'm not talking minute amounts, probably close to a half ounce if I had to guess! When I took my pipes off before the winter they were bone dry so I'm still not sure whether a catch can is necessary for my car just yet.

 

Just ordered mine today.
Out of stock till Wed 21st.

 

yea you waited too long...funny thing is they just hit the shelf (site) a day or so ago and people went for them like crazy....like waiten outside in line all night for a new pair of jordans to come out

 

Got mine in the mail yesterday. Will be installing on Tuesday after I take care to the dealer to get my Stage 1 Sensors looked at.

 

just get a trifecta tune from vince and man up.

 

wait, so the unburned fuel for the most part coming from the outlet on the valve cover going to the intake is essential for HP? If not, I do not understand why anyone would want to blow $110 on a water/air separator. So someone on here says they are not all made the same?? Does MPX have a turbine to cyclone the air in your intake? I mean as long as it lets unburned air/fuel pass and trap oil it is a good catch can right?

 

Is anyone aware of the contents of the catch can? What would set a good oil catch can apart from the rest would be lots of surface area to impede the vapor flow to allow for condensation of the vapor (ie. stainless steel mesh). I know a lot of the generic catch cans are usually empty, with perhaps a baffle between the inlet and outlet.

Also, I'd like to know if anyone has had issues from the dealer about voiding the warranty when the catch can is installed (since you are altering the emissions system of the car)

 

The sumota catch can is a 3-layer wire (looks like stainless steel?) mesh....

 

modern proformance has pics of one installed
