Notice for Original Catch Can Kit
Notice for Original Catch Can Kit
For everyone that bought the original run of catch cans from me:
I noticed while swapping out my original setup for my new one that the plastic NPT-to-barb fittings weren't as snug in the catch can as they were when I first installed it.
So for anyone that is using one of these kits, I'd recommend that you tighten these fittings next time you drain the catch can. You'll also get the fittings to seat further into the catch can for a better appearance, too. Just be mindful of the hose lengths (mine still reached when I tightened and refitted to check).
This wasn't noticeable until recently (I've emptied the catch can a few times), and I've been running the kit for a long time over thousands of miles, including track days. So it isn't a huge concern or anything to be worried about. It's just the result of the plastic heat cycling. Once tightened, I don't think it'll be a problem again but it'd be worth checking when emptying the can for peace of mind.
If anyone has any questions, please post them or PM me!
