you would need end caps ect for the downpipe to make a catch can which i dont think are available.
could probably make one out of soil pipe but at 110mm dia. its fat stuff! perhaps 50mm waste pipe would be the stuff to make it out of but then you gotta ask, is it oil resistant?.. i think abs is oil reisistant though..  :undecided:

i like it as said cover with carbon wrap or paint it and it will look good, i thought my old bit of exhaust polished was good for an induction kit cant beat your use of a drainpipe though. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:



Does this layout suffer heat soak

110mm interesting, was looking at plastic drainpipes today in BnQ, 68mm or 110mm was the choice and decided 110 was too big and 68 was too small  :laugh:
