I've been in contact with a 42 Draft Designs about their catch cans. If we can get an order for 15 cans they will discount them 10%. That's a savings of $11.50 off the normal price of their stealth catch can. They will ship to me and I'll ship them out to whomever orders one. You will be responsible for the shipping costs.

Here is a link to their catch cans.

There is NO profit in this for me, just trying to get a good deal for everyone on an outstanding catch can.

The price would be $103.50 ($115.00 less 10%) plus shipping.

That's between you & your spouse! :D

As you can see they are quality cans.

The wrinkle black can is pretty cool looking.

If you want the "stealth" look yes it is.

I prefer the stainless steel one.

I think 2 of these would work well.

2? Sheesh, how much pressure is your engine under that it's blowing by that much oil?

No more pressure than any other motor.

One for each side. Want to cover all the bases.

That's an interesting thought. I have to give this some thought....

See Dave's post.

Unecessary, the one I've got does the job with no issues. Just make sure you follow the instructions Travis sends you and make sure you install a COBRA PCV valve.

I'm looking at the comparison between this one and musclemercs. Aren't you supposed to use hard pcv line, so it doesn't draw in under high vacuum at WOT? The install pictures on the 42 link show soft tubing being used. Just a question. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've got tubing on mine, no problems.

I dont want to take any attention away from Jim's post.
If you have any questions please PM me and we can talk in private.

BTW the hoses in Cheeseheads pic are reinforced so they will not collapse.
If you use just a rubber hose it will draw closed, I've been down that road beta testing my own catch cans

I have a few questions:

Are these used on non-supercharged cars also?
Where would you mount the can?
Does it come with the hoses to connect?
Does it connect where the PCV valve is?

Yes you can use it on non-supercharged cars

I'm going to mount the can in the inner fender well right above the strut assembly. You can mount it where ever you choose.

No it doesn't come with the hoses. You can get them cheap at any FLAPS.

This connects inline with the PCV. There are many posts on how to connect theses.

While I can't say much about catch cans, I can sure endorse 42 Draft Designs. I've got some of their shift parts on my daily driver (2008 VW GTI) and they certainly are nice. Also, they stand behind their work. Due to a quirk, I had a slightly different design in my side-to-side linkage that would be replaced with the parts they made for another vendor's short-throw kit. They remade the part three times to make sure it fit, all at no cost (including no shipping either way) - no small feat since the parts they were making were small bearings. A pleasure to deal with and some dayum good parts.
