Does any of you 5th gens have a oil catch can?

If so where did you put it?

There is No room to mount it anywhere in the engine bay.

you can remove the cruise control or relocate the battery to another location

or just make your own catch can. i did out of home depot parts. much more compact and 12 bux.

I've had mine mounted in two places.

Initially,

Its mounted on a single 10MM bolt. Removal, and easy access, is a snap.

not to be a complete noob but, I donno much about catch cans. How can you make one, and where would it hook up?

Do you know what they're for, or do you just want one because other people have them?

I dont got a pic, but the was enough room for me to put it next to the dizzy just above the heater hose. A lil bracket there to strap it to w/ a hose clamp.

Where the cruise was will likely be best best. Run the hose from the PVC to the I/M .. DONE.

I think a good place on a 4g prelude would be where ABS is, either you already have it out and you can just go ahead and mount the can there.....

Or, like me, you still need to yank it, and then put a can there
