    has anyone brought a elite catch can recently

    i am going to buy an elite catch can from the usa its 169.50 over there and i converted it to 165.45 aus but it soesn't say how much for postage?

    just wondering what it has cost people to get it posted to them recently?
    thanks

    Same here. So I bought one of these
    http://shop.billetprototypes.com/cat...?categoryId=61

    It was about $155 delivered and it is very well made.

    Do they have an internal baffle system, or an open can?

    I got one 2 weeks ago, paid $50 for post.

    Make a reasonable offer on it, as I want to go to a can with a breather, Its black.

    Yes. It looks pretty much the same as the elite.

    It's "bought", not "brought"....unless you actually went to see Elite Engineering in the US and brought it back with you...but doesn't sound like that's the case...

    .....


    As for a real answer....I have one but I haven't fitted it yet. So that's not a real answer anyway....

    Oh...and it would be "AN elite catch can" not "A elite catch can"...But now I am just nitpicking...

    Pretty sure Elite in the US won't sell it to you....as Tuff Car Parts are the distributor. Call them up and see if they can do a deal...pretty sure I didn't pay normal retail...

    Guys, tuff car parts probably aren't making a whole lot on it. Factor in o/s freight, gst, domestic postage, overheads. And they wear some risk.

    I have one on the VE and about to order one for the x8, best money I spent, the amount of oil it catches surprised me.

    Money well spent.

    Just send Justin/Tuffcarparts a email, good bloke.
