Default ebay catch cans

Are the ebay catch cans just as reliable as the high priced cusco? After all they aren't electrical or anything right? What do u guys think?

yup its the same thing.

they are all empty cans with 2 fittings. You will need to add a fitting for a breather filter (unless you get the overpriced endyn)

see sig

Same deal, you can even make your own. I've seen beer cans, beer bottles, and other things used for a catch can breather. Definately don't waste $200+ on a name brand catch can when a couple of sellers on ebay sell better quality for $65 shipped. My bro and I both have one from Oval craft.

Yes, they do, but he can make them any size you want for the same price(That's what I did). The auctions on ebay have 2 different size fitting like you said, my bro used the 2 different fitting and did'nt have a problem.

damn....anyone who knows how to weld or knows someone who can weld can make a catch can with spare **** laying around. I made one with some leftover 3 inch diameter pipe from my exhaust.

Best thing to do is get some alum weld on threads and weld them to the back of the valvecover then run fittings to hoses to catchcan.


ps....to the dood who used gobs of JB weld, I tried that and eventually the **** vibrated off. Just some more info for ya.
