just looks like another catch can to me...

I dont think it takes alot of engineering to make one of these things.. maybe this is overcomplicated.. I mean look at alta's.. its pretty much a drink holder.
then again i could be wrong.

i just used one i got off ebay.. works just fine

catch can

i ordered the can because i did not want a empty can or one of the ebay ones with 3mm pipe internals. saikou only makes race catch cans this is a custom can that he made for me he is not into bling.check his site www.saikoumichi.com.

SS mesh is a nice addition.

From the mounting tab, I assume its designed to be mounted in the same area as the ALTA? While it doesn't matter where its mounted I always liked were Alta chose to mount theirs.

While not necessary, I like the visible fill level of others.

Pls share mounted pics, dimensions and price.

I think you got a nice can there

Nice and looks good.

Not a bad price either, especially considering its a 1 off, custom piece.

You did good!
