Subaru WRX Baffled Oil Catch Can System
The final kit is ready for installation! After months of development and test fitting, we finally had our completed prototype components ready for fitment verification prior to mass production. Check out all of the components below!
First, the passenger side catch can bracket for the PCV system.

And finally we have the catch cans and both brackets included in this kit. The black finish is subtle and works well with the WRX engine bay.

We then attached the brackets to the cans in preparation for the full kit installation.

Now that we had all of the components ready to go, we performed one final test fit before putting a close on the project. Installation is super quick and possible with common hand tools. Check out a few cool shots!
Note: Blue tape is being used to protect the finish of the bracket surfaces for later photography.

That concludes this project! A quick recap of our goals for this products development and we can launch this kit to the masses. The sooner we are able to release this direct fit kit, the sooner our customers can begin to benefit from a cleaner running engine.
Project Goals
- Remove oil particles from PCV/CCV air before entry into the intake tract
This catch can is proven to provide optimal separation of fuel/oil particles from PCV/CCV air. Our engineers have identified the appropriate catch can locations and have designed a kit that will greatly improve the cleanliness of your intake tract, manifold, intercooler, and intake valves. This will ensure that the octane rating of your combustion mixture is not effected by oil particles.
- Position catch cans in ideal engine bay locations with a strong bracketing system
We have designed direct fit catch can brackets that place the cans in optimal locations for servicing and packaging. Line lengths are kept as short as possible to reduce engine bay clutter. These brackets are constructed from steel to ensure durability and stability. Additionally, the brackets are powder coated for a scratch resistant finish.
- Include direct fit pre-made lines for easy installation
We designed pre-made direct fit silicone lines for the installation of these catch cans. Lines are available in black, blue, or red. Silicone lines provide a higher degree of reliability compared to the stock rubber counterparts and are more resistant to fuel, oil, and high engine bay temperatures.
With our goals met, this project was now complete! Keep an eye out for this kit to hit shelves very soon!
