What is the purpose of a catch can?

A catch can collects oil vapor and moisture from your engine's crankcase ventilation system. This prevents those contaminants from entering your intake manifold, which can improve engine performance and reduce carbon buildup on valves.

What does VTA/VTE mean for this catch can?

VTA stands for Vent to Atmosphere, meaning the vapors are released directly outside. VTE stands for Vent to Exhaust, where the vapors are routed back into your exhaust system. This catch can is designed to be plumbed for either configuration.

Can this catch can be used in California?

No, this specific Radium Engineering catch can is not CARB approved and cannot be legally shipped to California due to emissions regulations.

Product Details

This Radium Engineering Competition Catch Can XL features a unique internal baffle design that helps separate oil and moisture from your engine's crankcase vapors. It's designed to vent these vapors directly to the atmosphere (VTA) or back into the exhaust system (VTE), depending on how you plumb it. This helps prevent harmful contaminants from recirculating back into your intake manifold, which can lead to reduced performance and increased carbon buildup on your engine's valves.

Constructed from well-built aluminum, this catch can is made to last. The XL size offers a larger capacity, meaning you'll need to empty it less often compared to smaller units. Installation involves tapping into your crankcase ventilation system. While it's a direct fit for many applications, you'll want to confirm the specific plumbing requirements for your vehicle to ensure proper setup for either the VTA or VTE configuration.

Because this catch can is not CARB approved, it cannot be legally shipped to California. Always refer to your local emissions regulations before installing any aftermarket emissions control components.
