Mishimoto catch can and GM strut tower brace

FrostySS · 03-07-2018, 09:47 AM

I just ordered the catch can and totally forgot to take into consideration that I have a strut tower brace. Is anyone running the two together? Any clearance or install issues? Thanks!

I can't say :NO PROBLEM, however, some just relocate if a fitment problem arises. Now there is a fitment issues with SC lid/and res tanks.
The catch can sits below the strut tower. I hope this helps. With luck, someone will jump in.

Idk if it will work but my elite engineering can is on the other hole of that black brace. Then the bracket clears the strut tower brace. My can sits below it, towards the front. But idk if mishimoto provides enough hose for that or if the bracket is long enough

Nice video. Did you HAVE to do the washers? I understand why you did it, but did you have to?

Thanks. I don't think it was a "have" to, but it satisfied my OCD.

It will fit just fine, I have the Mishi CC and the GM strut tower brace. The can sits right under the brace. You do have to work your hands a little bit to get to the can but it can be done.

I have the elite engineering one and a strut bar on my 1LE and they fit. It takes a bit more finesse but it's not hard at all.

No problem fitting at all.. Like said above it sits under the strut tower..

You just have a couple extra bolts to take out and put back in when doing the install..

Literally went in and installed it in under 15 min..

FrostySS · 03-17-2018, 11:26 AM

Yup, already installed
