Watt, please post a link to these catch cans! That junk in there, looks like engine Puss....
Is it a pretty simple install, as well as everything needed being included?
Also, is is easy to check/empty the catch can?

I just ordered an RX can, takes care of both sides and seems like they've put some thought behind actually catching some of the crap compared to some of the other cans out there (eBay specials that is).

This is where I first came across this can: http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?catcode=18549
This is where I ordered from: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mor-85492/overview/
Parts wise, everything is there. The bracket is made to mount on the passenger side strut tower. To clear everything on the driver side, I had to turn the bracket around, put a little bit more of a bend in it, notch out more for the strut tower, and drill one new 7/16" hole. I also chose to smooth all the rough/sharp edges and paint it. If you can handle that, you can do it.
I'm not 100% sure yet but for the passenger side I think I will need a longer hose. Shouldn't need to modify anything for a passenger side install except maybe move one harness just a little.
Overall, I thought the install was pretty easy. Maybe a few hours to fit the bracket, sand and paint. Another couple hours to install but that included some daddy duty so actual time should be less. I found it much easier than installing running lights on my max-tow mirrors.
