Just wondering how it would be possible for the Apex CC to catch more than the RX CC? I purchased the Apex to replace the RX.. Just haven't had time to install.

The only conclusion you can draw there is that there was blow by getting past his old catch can that isn't getting past ours.

+1 Many of us FI owners have seen blow by on the RX cans. At first you think it's working well. But when you put the car through its paces the can can't keep up. Their can also has faulty drain values over time. I had to modify mine. But may invest in a Apex one, Chase has helped my greatly in the pasted.

We can't wait to start getting them installed on the V6 cars. Production on the brackets should start in the next week or so.

My catch can just arrived today! Pulled it out of the box. Man, that thing is hefty and solidly built. Well-made materials that fit nicely together. Hopefully it'll perform as good as it looks.

Excellent news! I think you may have a few customers ready to go already.

Ordered. Can't wait to install. Get to learn new things too! Never installed a catch can before. But, gotta learn, as I want this ZL1 to last me till I'm 40! (I'm almost 28, it'll make it!)

What's in the box???



Easy Peasy. Even a Caveman can do it.

Install took all of about 15 minutes or so once I preassembled the hoses and such. Hose barbs nearest the can stretch the hose too much to slide the black spring clamps over the hose, though. So I didn't use them. But they're so friggin' tight on there I doubt if they'll leak. I even used some blue threadlocker as recommended on the bracket to canister bolts. Looks like it belongs.













Day 1: 1473 miles on car, 0 miles since install....nothing in the can yet... I'll come back and post mileage and amounts when I get something.
