Or

Read this thread before making any choices. I think they are going to test the Phasetek as well....I have the ELite E2 and billet cleanside separator and love it, but watching this thread close before making any more decisions.

I have a phastek billet catch can in red and would recommend it. It seemed to be one of the lower priced catch cans around and has worked perfectly for me. I've caught a good amount with it and am pretty happy with mine.

I have the Elite Engineering can andthe CAI inc intake and love them.

The OP in the text R&D thread is going to test against the MM so that should show how well it does work. Remember all, just because the can catches oil is not an indication of it's efficiency, it is what gets past that is most important. You want as little as possible getting past. All cans, even cheap EBay ones catch oil.

Lil' Nasty · 07-19-2015, 03:02 PM

Elite and mm are good cans. Don't get rx.

BigRed585Lbs · 07-19-2015, 03:59 PM

That's a Mike Norris or Catchcans.com one on the bottom. Which would you choose for your engine's health?

JMT · 07-19-2015, 04:09 PM

This is my take. You get what you pay for ( to a certain extent) and I would recommend buying the best I could afford as it will do the most good. Any catch can is better than no catch can ( again to a point) both your choices are good maybe the Elite is somewhat better.
My choice was the monster two valve RX as I drive in very cold weather and somewhat spirited!
It's like which tires are best? Once you get up in the top performers it's a matter of personal choice.
