Here is another option in lieu of the JLT and it is cheaper.

Now why do I get the feeling that there is no bracket included?

Assuming it has a bracket that they somehow left out of the photos, it looks like a good deal.

I wonder if I can use this on my setup with the paxton 2200 blower? I never really knew much about catch cans.. not sure how important they are..?

I would think that it should be especially important since you have a blower! The PCV valve hose plugs into the vacuum side of your intake air, that is before the blower. So all the aerated oil will coat the internal blower surfaces, that just might gum everything up pretty good over time.
The aerated oil creates a coating that is a black carbon, gooey substance that builds up and can make a pretty good mess.

Our kit utilizes the OEM hose.

Please, Please everyone listen to nem. No reason to spend $$$$$ for JLT or Steeda. No offense to them. But Jegs sells it cheaper and it WORKS. Why anyone would want one you cannot see in is beyond me.

Are you referring to the one linked to further up on this page? The On3 performance one? That one you could not see-through.

Some people prefer billet, it's a dual-purpose part, style/dress-up and function.

Called jegs and that On 3 Performance catch can they sell at Jegs does not come with a mounting bracket. I imagine the holes in the top are threaded, so you could fab up a quick backyard bracket, but if you wanted a slick looking mount like you see on the UPR unit, you'd be spending just as much (either in cash or sweat equity) as if you just bought the UPR one to begin with.

such a controversial topic, partially I think, because no one really knows wtf is correct, wtf works and what is best for the general masses...onederful, BTW, I have always loved your engine bay...where the standard should be set (aside from the breathers...not gonna comment on those, as I have no knowledge)
