Catch Can - best one and place to buy

caSStro18 · 01-25-2020, 08:46 PM

Not looking to start a debate about whether or not a catch can is worth installing. I just want to hear from people who have installed one. First, which do you recommend? I assume most people have the Mishimoto one, but are there others that are any good? Second, what is the best place to get one and what is the price I should be looking for? Lastly...are they easy to install?

I did a Mishimoto, got it from Ebay since they were unavailable everywhere I looked on the supporting vendors here, and it took maybe 10 minutes to install. Can be twisted off by hand to empty and is clean under the hood. Perfect for a non-forced induction car in my opinion...

I went with UPR because of the design and how well it blended in with stock appearance. I believe I bought it direct. I didn’t want colored lines or hose clamps. It’s not the cheapest.

Mishimoto here, very easy to install and looks completely stock... (They don't do the colored hoses anymore, only black).

The "excellent function" can seems like an exact copy of the mishi and much cheaper

Mighty Mouse “mild” here. Quality is impressive, looks good, installs easy.

caSStro18 · 01-26-2020, 10:16 AM

I have admit...nearly $200 for the mishimoto one seems a bit steep for what it is. There’s no doubt it is overpriced...by A LOT. The cheaper eBay one (much cheaper) is tempting. The can itself does look exactly like the mishimoto, the hardware does not. Just not sure if I can make a universal one look good under the hood. That’s the one place the mishimoto is better. The bracket and hoses are custom shaped for the Camaro. I wonder if anyone else here has used a universal catch can and made it look almost factory.

JLT, good customer service and easy install

I'm satisfied with the Mishimoto I have. Over 40K miles on it.

Whichever unit you get, be extra careful removing the hose from the intake manifold. It's plastic and can be broken off. Several people hare have had that happen.

I also have the Mishimoto catch can and very happy with it.

Baddawg53 · 01-26-2020, 06:32 PM

I installed the Elite Engineering catch can. Install wasn't bad, but it doesn't really come with directions or a solid mounting location. No regrets though, it works fantastically, and catches a surprising amount of oil/moisture.

So where's the best place to buy the Mishimoto catch can for my '16 SS?

I think I located a pretty good deal from the RDP Store. It would be about $170 after the promotional discount.
