The ebay ones are not the same... not even close. Get the BT one. They are a great vendor and have done a lot for our (the LX) platform.

I may be wrong though.

It's just for emissions. i deleted my EGR, no worries. Turned it off via my tuning. you can't just plug the hole, it's gotta be turned off via the tune.

Yeah I like them, that is why I bought my emblem from them, but I am prob not ever going to buy a catch can in the first place. And the only thing special about theirs are they come with nice brackets. A whole lotta people make them out of aluminum (billet).

I did my Dad's GC with a Hemi, about a month ago. Super easy to do. Boy did it need it. Almost looked like it was never done at all the whole time he's had it. Even though he has repair invoices saying he has had it done a few times. It had a very thick layer of crap on it and the door sticked everytime I moved. Cant forget the throttle response improved greatly after I cleaned it.

Good write up Daniel

Get yourself a small flathead screwdriver and carefully pry that red tab out.

I do mine every 15K or so, so yours will prob look close to the same. This is the reason why some people put catch-cans on the motors, so all that junk doesnt go back into the intake.

Thinking about taking mine off to see and my mom's off her pt cruiser cause I don't think it's been done in 100,000 miles unless it was done at service and the dealership didn't tell us
