Gets looking for a catch can. What are ppl running in their setups. Have a alloytec. Heard elite engineering are good but pricy. Will cheap drift brand work or will I have to fill it with steel wool. There is a company selling baffled catch cans but retail 120. Anyone interested in a group buy?
Company original auto parts.

I have one of those from opg, it works which is a plus ha ha. Comes with steel wool already in it aswell.

Only bad thing about it is the mounting hardware it comes with isn't the best, but it does the job

Do you reckon the opg catch can is worth it or better getting a cheap one and filling it with wool myself

Rx performance can, and breather kit.
Little exe, but ain't any good running a half arsed setup.
And I hope that you intend on mounting it correctly, not just inline with the clean air line that comes from the air intake pipe.
If you read this link, it should give you a nice insight.

On my SSV I've got an Elite Engineering catch can, love it! Blends into the engine bay very nicely and looks stock, as for how well it works, it's only been on the car for 3 weeks (about 500kms lol)
I think I paid $230 delivered from Justin at Tuff Car Parts.

On my SV6 I've got a cheap Drift Catch can, still need to connect it up and get some sort of steel wool etc for inside, paid $80 or something from Autobarn.

Comparing the Drift can to Elite, Elite is definitely the way to go in regards to quality!

What do these catches do? And are they a performance mod?
