Custom catch cans

Long shot, but was wondering if any of you is running a custom made catch can? I've been thinking about a catch can in the leading coils area (coils have been removed), but was wondering what others have done.

I put one on the shock tower/trailing coil area of my FC.
I had one of those Brake braces and incorporated that into the mounting bolts.

That's exactly where I had mine mounted; trying to decluster the engine bay a little.

Run it to the backend of your car. Near the underside of your trunk, with a ball-valve and hose to dump out for easy access.

you'd think for a big shop they would have something better than a empty quart container lying around to use as a catch can.

But that wouldn't be venting the crankcase.

not that it isn't the first or last time that i will have seen it. you see a lot of backwoods mods on cars at the track but usually they are improvised at the track.
