Talking oil can...hope this is the right place to post

well...first I got a greddy catch can.....too big and I didnt want it to be visible.

so I sold it

I started searching here for some ideas...some of them I really like...but then again...to big for my taste and visible


well I went to Lowes the other day...and found something.
I do not know the name for this ugly thing, I found it in the wrong place to begin with
I looked at it .... well it is ugly but if I paint it..... hmmmm?
I think it will look like a factory part....reservoir or fuse box?, thats the look I want...stock
all I know about it is, that it is used for electrical connections?...behind walls or something I dont know but they come in many different sizes for just a few $$

so I bought everthing else to make it work...paint...vacuum hose...copper/brass?? fittings etc .... you all know whats involved in a catch can

and this is the result for now....well until I decide where to mount it...you can fit it almost anywhere now, more choices

uhhhhh hmmmmm errrrrrrrr PVC does not react well to high temps. but props for the creativity. it will look like a stock piece if you can get a good mounting position for it. I just dont recommend PVC in high heat enviroments.

clever but pointless. Its a catch can, why not make it out of something less obscure...and less ugly to put in your engine bay for that matter.
