Default Elite Engineering catch can

Just picked one of these up and was surprised at how well the thing is made. Entire thing is machined from billet aluminum and is also anodized. Going to replace the fittings with AN fittings to match the rest of the engine bay.

Looks pretty nice... Only thing I dont really like is it looks like theres no way to tell how much is in it without taking it apart.

I am running one of the DIY ones, and it works great, but that one sure beats it from the looks perspective.

Finally a catch can that is actually baffled! I ended up putting my own type of baffle in my GReddy one, with out if they don't really do much.

EDIT: Just ordered one for my car, this is a nice piece and price isn't bad for quality, good find!

You can take out that inside section to clean the stainless mesh that inside of it too.

whats the approximate size of that thing? looks smaller then a coke can.

I need a smaller can that can fit in a tight spot.......this may be the solution.

Hey Chris, I think you have a Vortech too. Here is how I mounted my catch can.
