Default Oil catch can from ebay??

Since we can pick up parts to make some nice DIY oil catch cans from other homedepot or Lowes, so can we get some of those ebay oil catch cans? Most of them are made out of aluminum, they see to be pretty nice and solid with all the hard wares that we need, plus they are not expensive, why don't we just get those instead?

They are fine, I bought one. You will need to get some better hoses, other than that they are fine. I took one appart just to see, and they are no different than any other overpriced brand name catch cans.

Go for it.

I just bought a oil catch can but, I couldn't bring myself to buy one of those really cheap ones off ebay. I decided on this one which was very nicely constructed and reasonable priced from TTC performance. Also, make sure you get good hoses and tape the fittings. http://www.customcorvetteaccessories..._Blue_Full.jpg

Yeah, I saw someone use this catch can in his DIYhttps://my350z.com/forum/engine-driv...n-diy-pix.html, pretty nice and clean combination with the stainless steel hoses, very nice set up.
