Neither. You have a (I'm assuming) basically stock n/a b16...you don't need a catchcan.

The difference is 6mm, and bigger is always better (sic).

Since we're talking about such small sizes here, I assume you're talking about the inlet/outlet sizes? If so, then yes, bigger is better.

those measurements are for the hose & fittings not the catch can itself.

Yeah, I understand that, but my question is does it matter, or is there a advantage in one or the other?

I'll pry just go with 15 then if there isn't.

1 quart...

My friend boosted his '00 Accord and we didn't have a catch-can but needed to get it from con to NY - so we used a 1qt royal purple bottle with holes drilled in the bottom turned upside down.

Free, works like a charm...

Oh, and fits nice, too.

You don't need a damn catch can on ur stock B16.

Alright settle down.

And jeeeebus. My great uncle wants to buy something for my car thats around $75-$100 and this was what I thought of. So chill out. Any car can benefit from a catch can.
