I believe it's an oil catch can? No, I don't have it. No, I wouldn't put it on.

Do you have the basics done? Intake, exhaust, suspension, etc? If you're running out of ideas there is a whole modification sub-forum here that would love to point you in the right direction.

HAHAH.. that was funny..

it is used to make sure no oil goes into the intake manifold.. usually used on turbo cars ...but there have been a bunch of people who have put these in their engine bays.. Doesnt hurt anything. but doesnt really do much. You can keep track of how much oil you are losing. but more of a bling item in our cars I think.. if you want it get it.. just make sure you know what it is first and how to install it. dont be one of those guys at a car meet that gets asked.. "oooh whats that shiny tank for", and hace completely NO idea what they are talking about. I hate that.. i was talking to a guy at a car show who had a civic with a TRD logo on it and he was telling me that his TRD civic was soo awesome. If I had a tomato in my hand it wouldve went straight to his face lol btw, he also had a GT-R logo on it.. double !!!!

ok just wanted to make sure you knew! But if you are planning on showing your car and showing your engine then of course get it! But if you dont plan on showing your car, you are better off spending that money elsewhere. It all depends on your end goal with your car..

For example, my car was meant to be "showy" before. But, now I may be driving my car ALOT more now great distances... I am making my car more comfortable. So, my rims had to go.. my exhaust had to go.. installed all the creature comforts.. like navi and dvd.. and a bike rack to transport my fiancee's and I's bikes.. and I am going to get a few go fast goodies to make my car a little more fun.. So comfort wins ALL with all my mods right now. If the mod will mess with my comfort it will be coming off lol ..

Its nice if you have a turbo system or making any sort of boost. NA it helps a little. Whats nice is that it decreases oil going back into the intake/intake manifold area which is nice. That design for that tank is wierd...It has the top from a radiator overflow and two for the catch can. Honestly I dont even know what that is. Looks like crap imo.
