Any local shops sell replica catch cans?

I haven't been able to find someone that stocks the replica GReddy (squarish) catch can. You guys know of anyone?

I'm thinking you probably already checked Gruppe-S for the Helix CC, but if not, that's a good bet.

EDIT: oops, guess MPJ has em too ^^^^ I think they have the same source as Gruppe S, anyways.

The replicas I see on eBay for $50. AFAIK, they aren't Helix.

I have OG GReddy stickers if you get the replica can.....you'll get the FULL "Powered by Stickers" hp! I'll trade you for some replica boba (Nor Cal version).

btw, I'm pretty sure MPJ is kidding about the gauze. You don't want anything that'll break up and get sucked into the motor. (even though gauze would probably just burn up)

well i've been wondering if there is any actual filtering going on, or if itsjust gravity that removes the oil, etc from the returned gases. It seems to me that those gases would be quite atomized due to heat and pressure, so I don't see how gravity would take care of it.

From this thread, it seems that nothing comes inside the catch can. It is used as a breather system so the crankcase can bleed off presure. But this guy put stainless steel wool inside to catch some of the oil coming out of the motor.
