Great deal on eBay for a catch can

I was looking around for a good deal for a catch can and wasn't willing to pay $50 or higher for something so basic, I was about to make my own until I came across this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Unive...spagenameZWDVW

I even checked several other Evo sights that I wont mention by name and they were more than 100% higher for the same thing! I paid $31.00 shipped to my door, the closest cost to this one was $63.75 shipped, and when I compared the photos from the website with the one on eBay, they were identical. I ordered it thinking it can't possibly be that nice, but was I surprised when it arrived! The quality is better than expected, just like in the photo and I had it in 4 days from CA! I just wanted to show you that you can find good deals, very good deals if you know what you want. I hear too much whiny crap about eBay being all bad, and yes there is some really cheap junk on there, but there's also some great deals to be had.
Why pay over double the price when you don't have too!?
I just installed a set of evil eBay HIDs too, I'll do a post on those next, they're great! Hope this helps!

Happy Thanksgiving

This looks like a Greddy Knock off. What's the internal construction like? a good catch can isn't just a can with two differnt ports on it. a good catch can has internal screening to pull the oil vaper from the airflow. without that screening, the only thing this will catch is the oil condensation on the walls of the box.

Does this catch can have internal screening, or is it just an alluminum box?

^ Granted there are well engineered catch cans. However all you'll have to do to make any can effective is put a nice amount of Stainless Steel Wool in it to filter th oil

"An Oil Catch tank is also an excellent engine dress up item that will give your car the race car look."

I'm getting ready to trailer our cars up to TN/NC to hit the Dragon,Deals Gap, so I wont likely have time to take & post pics, I'll be happy to do it when I get back though. Taking up my Evo & an 05 Porsche Turbo S,AWD, but my Evo will whoop it! Should be a blast, I'll have pics & video.
As to the catch can, I was very impressed with the machining & fitment, although I have not opened & inspected same. If there is no baffle device inside it will be very easy to remedy. For the money, you can't go wrong, heck, you can make a very inexpensive one out of PVC, but that would be ugly, so this one fits the bill. I cannot see spending more money just to have some companies name stamped on the side.
