So glad I came across this. I've been searching different brands all being ~$200. Looks super clean and great info regarding setup!

Thanks guys, that’s certainly the result I was shooting for. I forgot to mention that I also wanted to avoid having the hoses cross through the bin as I doubt that BMW would do it that way. Having the hoses tucked against the wall, and hidden under the cabin filter tray looks much more factory. In fact most BMW enthusiasts don’t even notice the can until I point it out. Also, this placement should be easy with the low cost can that the OP of this thread is using. Perhaps even sitting with it’s bungs out through holes in the rubber thingy (the u-clamp moved forward to be centred to that opening into the engine bay)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Some constructive criticism if you want it... The can would separate dirty oil vapour and whatnot about 100x better if you put some super course stainless fibres of some sort in it. Don't pack it super tight but the vapours need surface area to condense onto. Straight from ebay you just have can walls for surface area. Also if you can rig up a pipe on the inlet side to run ~1/2 to 2/3 of the way down to the bottom of the can it would keep said vapours path away from your outlet to vacuum as much as possible therefore increasing the time they have to condense and not make it back into your airbox.

Cross posting because I think this thread will generate more discussion on this compared to where it was originally posted:

In my case, I don't care about how much it does or doesn't do really because
-It was $100 cheaper to do my catch can than to buy the CSL PVC lines from ECS (best price) -I like to mod my car, I got to fab up a brace which is fun (to me at least) -it looks cool to me -my airbox should get less grime in it I wouldn't have spent $300. For others, maybe a can isn't worth it no matter how cheap it is.

There's a reason the stock airbox has a return hose to the oil pan.

IMO this is the best catch can on the market. I've run 16lbsof boost (centri on a pushrod 5.0) and have zero trace of oil in the intake track. This is with hoses straight off the vc's into the can and the vacuum is pulled from about 6" before the blower inlet. Stays dry as a bone.
http://www.jcsautomation.com/vs%20catch%20cans.html Just thought I'd add another option for anyone looking |
