Default My HMT style catch cans

I surf the forum for the most part but, i plan on starting a build thread for my turbo 240 (converting to e85). I put these together over the weekend and they struck me as HMT catch cans as they function and they are cheap (<10$ each).









^add a little spray paint and i'm good to go

Critism....good....bad....awsome :1

It just better helps filter out any oil vapor passing through. I guess i could just get away with the baffle plates but those are actually there just to make sure none of the ss scrubber pad falls apart and get into something important. Some people just throw the pads in there with nothing to make sure it doesn't come apart on them....just trying to be alittle more safe.

Only thing cheap about that is the price, it looks like a good setup. Mine has no baffles or anything just line in and line out. I figured everything would just collect at the bottom. I may have to cut the top off mine and put something in there.
