Catch Can Kit
« on: 16 July 2010, 15:47 »
Just saw this on Ebay and it sounds like a decent price, for those of you that have catch cans fitted what do you reckon?

no worries mate, if you can find one that collects the crap rather than venting it, it would be a lot better  :wink:

I just found this version of the BSH kit that also recirculates:

I figured they surely couldn't just sell the vent one if it's illegal to use it  :rolleyes:

Allot of people don't know its illegal, secondly some people just put a filter onto the breather directly as opposed to getticng a catch can to begin with as its miles easier and cheaper (even if illegal), as breather pipes become brittle and break...

Best bet is just getting a cheap catch can of ebay, fitting it in you car with some coupling silicone.
