This is just a feeler to gauge an intrest in making a few catch can's for member's here. Since I did my "greasy intake thread" I've gotten a few PM's from member's intrested in me making them one. I originally put the info out there so you guy's could make your own but I keep getting asked so if there's anyone else interested in a baffled catch can shoot me a PM. I'm currently working on total cost for each one but the more intrest I get the cheaper they will be. Here's the link: http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=60956

Here are a few photo's I took today. The first set is with the stock hardline (I used a heat gun to get the proper bend) and the second set is with 3/4" aluminum tubing and a pressed in 90deg. connector. I plan on polishing the aluminum tubing to match the billet catch can.

Looks like a great set up other than the wheel well mount. I think I would have figured a way to get it in back by the fire wall and AC box.

Other wise Great idea and I hope it works the way you want and we all need!

Good point LeoVampire, everyone need's to know mounting supplies, bracket's, and hoses will not be included. I'm not a vendor and have no time to get every little part needed to complete the install. This is for the can only you can source your brackets and hoses from your local hardware store and automotive parts supplier. The cost's alone will be sure to change a few mind's too. The can is $40.00, the plumbing connectors total are 14.00, the baffle is 12.00 and shipping should be around 7.00~8.00 ea. Total:$74.00 berore any labor costs (which is about 3 hours for each can). Here's a link to a comparable can that has more BLING to it for a little more the filter is thin but i'm sure it works: http://www.42draftdesigns.com/categories/products/catchcans.html

That's total honesty for you, some of us have it some don't! I could'nt be at peace with myself without giving full disclosure to the member's here.
Happy Maraudering! :burnout:

Actually I was thinking 110.00~115.00 Shipped Blackened300A. I don't see myself getting rich off this. It's more for the member's and the fact I like tooling in my shop!

That's some seriously nice stuff on the web site, the cnc parts that are available are pretty damn nice. :beer:

Yes they do! I normally spend alot of time researching a subject before I jump in, just so I'm aware of all options before I make a decision. They have good stuff but the affordable one (115.00) does'nt have a removable cap for service and the one that does cost like 245.00 and that was way out of my budget

I am all about their "ultimate" catch can, nice eye candy, just add some AN lines and it would be perfect.
