R52/R53 best oil catch can for 2012?

Hey guys,

There are a fair few suppliers of oil catch cans out there, and a lot of threads are a few years old and new suppliers are available.

I'd like it to be built like a tank so it's leak-free; have good and easy pipe fitting and mounting bracketry; and if it had an inspection glass that would be nice but it's not a deal breaker because I know the pressure is quite high.

Budget is up to $300ish. Which is the best?

So far I've seen one from M7, BSH and a transparent one.



Thanks
Bob

Check out the one from GTT. A little pricey but still one of the best. Polished alluminum, fairley small in diameter, has a dip stick, and the line in goes to the bottom of the can with filter pad to catch and hold the vapor.
It can be mounted to the area next to the passenger hood latch and should be routed between the PVC and gray line. Install is easy using the spade fittings and good quality PVC hose.

42 Draft Design's is quite slick and certainly adds some underhood bling, if I was dropping some cash on a catch can they would get my money.
