Radium Engineering Catch Cans

[OICU812]

Why justify it to anyone? If any item in general is worth it to "you" so be it. It's your money and you're happy that's all that counts. My two cents on topic.

Exactly right.
I love it when you see people shopping for stuff at shops or even when talking in conversation about 'stuff' that is high quality or commands a high price, and they make the comment, "It's way expensive and way overpriced"
What some body should say to them is, "It's too expensive.. for you."

Way worse things out there to spend money on that's not good for you. Smiles are good for everyone. Have a good day everyone!

Hoping someone with hood dampers posts some of these cans mounted soon so I can decide whether to add to cart!!

I don't have hood dampers on my car (or the catch can for that matter) but looking at pictures I don't see why it wouldn't work. It looks like the Grimmspeed (only ones I looked at) mount using the same bolt as the catch can but I don't think spacing the damper mount up 1/8" will matter. 95% sure it will work with little to no modifaction of either part.

Got them all installed tonight. I ended up using the PCV on the drivers side and crankcase on the passenger side because of the way the innovate supercharger is plumbed. Because of this I didn't even have to use the coupler to extend to the inlet of the crankcase catch can, the hose connected to the stock intake was long enough.

sorry for the pics, it's late and the flash isn't the best.

The hood dampers will bolt in together with the catch cans, thats not the problem.
But what my question is, what happens when you close the hood?
By looking on the pictures it going to be very close fit between the dampers and the bracket for the catch cans.

Ah I see what you mean. It does look like the damper lay outboard of the bracket as well though. I guess my assumptions would be more valid if I actually had hood dampers lol

I should know this weekend. Picking up my kit tomorrow morning.

Cant wait to see if it works.
Do you have grimmspeed hoodstruts?

I am just waiting on feedback if this will work together with hood struts.
I will either order the bolt in kit or a universal dual kit depending on fitment.

Yes, I have the Grimmspeed hood struts.

I'll try to get it installed on Saturday night or Sunday at some point.

I kept putting off the install because I was feeling lazy. When I finally did it, it took all of thirty minutes for both cans.

The only advice i would give is to apply a little lube to the hose barb fittings before trying to fit the hose around it. It will make your job much easier.

Installed mine just now. No issues with the Grimmspeed hood struts as the mounting bolt provided by Grimmspeed was plenty long, lightweight battery was another matter. I improvised.

Interesting you chose to mount the Radium bracket above the Grimmspeed bracket. I was thinking the other way around for mine. Guess trial and error. I'll report back on mine when I complete the install. I'm only doing one side though, so I have a spacer for the other side I'll be using.

I wanted to be sure that the keytab on the strut mount stayed fully engaged to the body so I wouldn't have any rotation issues. It might work the other way around but I didn't try it that way.
