2 catch can questions.

UNDRCOVR · 11-07-2004, 06:24 AM

1: I accidentally bought the 9mm Greddy insted of the 15mm and cannot find out if the 15mm nipples are avaliable. (Hey, it was 40$)

2: I read more than once that it it pretty much useless unless you pack it with some sort of baffle, mainly from what I have read Brillo or a stainless steel wool.

Answers:????

Thanks, Josh

yes they need baffles, no DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL. it'll have debris and junk sticking to it that the oil will wash off and get pumped through your bearings. I'd go MacGyver on some sheet metal making some ghetto baffles if I were you

Yea. Not steel wool, stainless steel wool. The ribbon looking stuff. I need to find a set of those nipples.

I see some catch cans that come with what look like inline filters. Do these act as baffles would inside of a catch can?

I got one off ebay for $30.

just a thought but you could probably use a small fuel filter or a carb fuel filter (much smaller)

I think ill just cut a soda can up into slivers. That should work fine.
