In the market for an oil catch can.

I am in the market for an oil catch can but there are too many. It will be used in an evo 8. There are catch cans that have a breather filter then there are ones that don't. There are generic catch cans on eBay for $25 then there's catch cans for over $200. Any recommendations?

depends on what you need it for,if you have excess crankcase pressure then i would recommend one of these so you can vent the VC into the can and the can into the air inlet.

if you just want one for looks,then get whichever one you like the looks of.

i have a Boomba can for sale with a breather for $60 in the for sale section.it's a nice,clean looking,almost new can that has lines that will fit stock size VC outlet.i am having my VC drilled and tapped for 1/2" size lines and getting one of the cans above b/c i am making big boost.

This, I have the same set. Cheaper catch cans are going to clog the filter and spew oil vapor in the engine bay while ones that route back into the intake will coat the entire intake system with oil and vapor.

Check out the how to make an oil catch can thread

There's a great write up. It only costs around $25 and it'll be better quality than anything you buy
