i ordered their catch can and i freaking love it. It was cake to install also. I'm getting my car out of storage this weekend and will be doing an oil change; i will also be draining the can as well. I'm almost afraid to see how much is in there.

Also, their customer support is awesome. There is a rep from RevXtreme on this site, i forget his S/N though. He even gave me his cell# incase i had any issues installing it.

I say get it!

last i checked they aren't a sponsor any more.

but Tracy still haunts the board.

the can is well built, only real complaint you see is that the bracket is a bit weak. some complain about the can rattling...but i think that's because it has the PCV valve built in.

i'm looking at picking one up soon.

I'll agree with teke184 on the weak bracket, but other then that it's a great piece !!! Also on a side note the can works better with a stock tensioner pulley. I have a Katech and had to find the sweet spot for it to fit in just right.

Talking

will a catch can help extract the water vapors or condensation from the oil. Every time i open my oil cap it has water drops in it. i only work a mile or two from home so my oil never heats up enough to burn the water from my oil. Thanks guys in advance. ps also looking into a pre-oiler. what u think

I have the revextreme. The can itself is a nice unit, but yeah the bracket is flimsy. My only other complaint was the bleeder valve was junk, but I replaced that for under two dollars.
