Is This Genuine?

[r32man09]

Hey ppl

I'm just wondering if these are real greddy http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GReddy-9mm-15mm-Oil...2#ht_3605wt_922. I contacted them and they insured me that they were real and that they got them through a Greddy distributer??

I think it's aload offshit what do u think?

[PM-R33]

I don't see why it wouldn't be real? Why are you doubting it?

I have the same one but in polished aluminium.

Lol coz everywhere else they are like $ 200 plus I don't think anything greddy would be that cheap. If they made this u would think they would have them in there products list on greddy website. Never seen them in colours b4 on seen the 1 you got which I'm after. Also asked to see the packaging but no go, and the hosing is diffrent too???

Hmmm I suppose. I thought maybe they just made black ones now (I bought mine ages ago) and that they were cheaper than the polished ones. Either way even if it aint genuine it's pretty cheap and at the end of the day it is just a catch can, not much can be "wrong" with it.

it's exactly the same as the polished "ebay" one i bought a coupla years ago (actual quality was fine), except it appears the supplied hose is of even worse quality?!

I never actually fitted mine up, as both CAMS and AASA require a 2 litre catch can, not the approx 1 litre of these.

bcos greddy always send you cheap plastic crap oil hose....

its just a no name one with a fancy spray job, i got the same one in chrome

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

on a side note, invest in something with the double chamber, they do nothing unless there is a wall to split the container...

Edit: I should add I got that catch can from autobarn for $50-$70 I got my own hoses for it hence the extra.

what you mean?

any catch can is good if it has 2 chambers, because in theory the rocker cover inlet is going to pump dirty air into the can, and if there is only a main chamber with no wall separating the inlet and outlet, the dirty air is just going to be sucked strait into the other hole outlet, and the dirty air stays dirty when it goes back into your intake, if there are 2 chambers, the dirty air from the rocker covers will hit the 1st chamber wall and the oil and muck will stick to it and the air will then continue to flow into the second chamber and continue its cycle.

but, there is a way around this if you only have one chamber (and its what i personally have set up) and thats packing steel wool into your catch can, not the fine wool, the large strand steel wool, the steel wool acts like the chamber wall and the oil will stick to the steel wool letting the cleaner air continue through it. if you use the finer steel wool then particles of steel may continue into your engine (i forget the names of both the wool)

use this stuff

not this stuff

yea its just a universal item that everyone brands to make it look bettera, but it dosent matter, a catch can is a catch can is a catch can, regardless of who has their brand on it, it does the exact same thing as the last one.
