That'll be fine, I have the same ones although you'll probably need some 15mm hose and a couple of 19mm - 15mm downsizers and possibly another right angle depending on how you fit the can.
Search the forum, there's a number of previous posts on this subject. Once everything's connected up correctly you won't have any issues due to the 15mm adaptors on the can....

Where are you guys finding 19mm to 15mm reducers as I cannot seem to see any?

Also any solid catch cans without that fluid level pipe, as mine warped and leaked last time?

Ignore me 19mm to 16mm reducers would work a treat on that catch can for the tightest fit

Is a catch can just a can? Or does it have some kind of filter mechanism inside?

It's not just a can it is a type of filter the cheap ones are cans but if you go on saikou michi website it shows the filter system.. It's like chambers iirc that cool the vapour down so it condenses..

Yeah but the cheap ones work just as well, otherwise there'd be nothing to empty out of them  :smiley:
