Guest INASNT Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Here is what i was telling u guys about. Someone actually looked what was inside one. Here are his comments from another thread Bought one today, and got my pen light to have a look up inside it through the drain hole...only to discover that they're hollow! Just a tin basically.Since these items are recirculating, how are they suppose to stop the vapours recirculating as well? No fins etc to condense the oil vapours. I will be taking it back tomorrow and will be investing in a cusco one or one of similar quality. Are there any good recirculating catch cans on the market? A breathing one is my last resort. I should have known better... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/31407-any1-buy-those-catch-cans-from-autobarn/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT-spec15 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 hey guys im "whistlas friend" lol.... yeah im not surprised these autobarn ones have turned out to be useless. what do you expect for 90 bucks. i mean i wouldnt buy a 100 dollar intercooler. but anyway... yes, ive had custom ones made (ready for delivery, not just "an idea" ive had) and whistlas looks fantastic, and actually functions. mine have an internal downpipe from the 'inlet' that directs fumes into stainless steel mesh to be condensed. the outlet back to the inlet tract is hence above all that and is not afected by oil fumes at all Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/31407-any1-buy-those-catch-cans-from-autobarn/#findComment-635413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 what do you expect for 90 bucks.Well I bought a cusco catch can for 60 bucks (excluding shipping) secondhand from japan which fits an R32... around about the same time that these guys were organising a group buy.

dAVE Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Personally I think $270+ is too much to spend on a catch can. I know alot of the jap brands are cheaper than that - do they have fins and stuff inside, or just hollow like autobarn ones? I had a jap brand one (ATS or something) and it was filled with what looked to be baffle matterial, so the vapours would stick to it or something - what is this design like?
