Check out these.

I have one and it's been good. Has a big reservoir on it and a very good filter.

I have the UPR and it works great. I wish it was "Plug & Play" like the JLT, but it works very well. I empty it every 2500 miles and it is half full. I used to get blue puffs of smoke at fire up, gone now. I recommend.

I looked this morning and got some pics of how the hose runs on my 10 with the M90. Its pretty much a straight shot from the front of the valve cover back towards the firewall then doglegs up to just behind the throttle body.






Given the UPR looks like the option Im most comfortable with because the weight of the can is supported by a bracket attached to the strut tower, that leaves one question. It looks like the UPR's all come with a 90 degree elbow for in and outtake. Is there an option to get a straight connector or are these easily replaceable with off the shelf from the nearest auto parts store?

Now this kit looks like the best overall unit I have seen yet. Plus the glass reservoir allows you to see how much oil has been collected. The industrial filters should last a long time too.
Thanks for the link!

I'm guessing you had one of our original catch cans. We had that problem early on, and have since upgraded to the good stuff. If anyone has the old hose, we will replace it.

Let me know if you'd like to get one.
Does that include enough hose for a whipple?

Our oil separators do not come with hoses.

You can buy hose at an auto store for cheap and cut off the fittings from the stock line to use along with some hose clamps.

Well if it's cheap, then for $100 they could throw in the correct size hose. It doesn't look like the steeda can will fit in the space I have.

I've all ready cut my stock fittings off. I have a catch can, but it's a pain to empty.




The whipple comes with a built in catch can!

Welcome. I also think it is the best kit out there right now. You do pay for it though.
