GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

As far as I know I have only seen KeithVibe with an oil catch can. I was thinking of picking one up after changing my intake manifold gasket and saw how much oil residue was in it.My question is that is there a certian brand I should stay with to minimize problems or would a $25 eBay one do the job?Thanks!~Tim

The best ones have material in them that some call a "baffle", but you can create your own baffle using steel wool. of you need to. The only think I don't like about the ebay catch cans is that they use cheap hoses. I the first one I had the hoses collapse from suction when they heated up and got real flimsy. So, I went to Menards and got some heavier duty rubber hose.

I have a Perrin Oil Catch can that would also work, but more money. then again, it's better quality than an ebay one.

I was looking at the Perrin ones and they seem like they are the same quality maybe less. They have plastic barbs whereas most ebay ones in the 25-40 range have metal.Thanks guys! I think I will try out one of the ebay ones first.
