Can you guys add a glass viewing port at the top of each chamber so that we can anticipate when it needs to be drained?

Have you finalised pricing yet? Any intro offers? When are you expecting the first production sets to be available for customers?

Yes, we have. Final pricing will be $349.00 plus shipping this includes all hardware, lines and fittings. We are doing an introductory price of $309.00 plus shipping.

All of the components are at the anodizing facility now, and we will be receiving them back this Friday. Once we have them back, I will have the introductory price activated on our site.

Didn't realize that it would probably get in the way of the charge pipes on most FI kits... might be a deal-breaker for me

Yes, I did make mention of this in the original post. This catch can will not work with all forced induction kits. Specifically if the charge pipe runs directly behind the headlight.

I edited the originally post and changed the line to bold text, to make sure no one that is interested misses that.

Ah no offense at all. We did take this into consideration during our design phase, the final conclusion was the current design and location. With that said I do know that we can easily locate the can in another area if we have customers that are interested in our catch can but have a turbo kit that interferes. The current design allows for us to cut a mounting bracket and keep the main body of the catch can.

After a quick glance through the turbo kits it looks like it will work currently with:

Greddy Turbo kit
JDL Turbo kit
Sprintex supercharger
P&L Turbo kit
Crawford turbo kit
Ptuning turbo kit

Those are the first few I found that work with the Racer X catch can. Which forced induction kit do you have or are you interested in?

Thanks,
Jeff

Final product complete!!

We received our catch cans back from anodizing, and they are ready to ship!!

Here are a final few pictures of the catch can and some of the pieces and parts inside of it. You may notice that the threads on the catch can itself that hold the lid are not anodized this is done on purpose, we also use all stainless steel hardware.

We are offering a discounted price currently and it can be found here:

Questions and comments welcome as always!!

I took a look at the Jackson Racing SC kit, it appears that our catch can will not work with this kit.

Any possibility you will make a vent to atmosphere variant? Looks great by the way. Love the placement.
