Transmission-Mount Engine Oil Catch Can

The STM Evo 7/8/9 transmission-mount engine oil catch can is a direct-fit solution designed to reduce oil blow-by and improve engine performance for 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Evolution VII, VIII, and IX models. This catch can system features a lightweight, tig-welded aluminum body with a durable wrinkle black powdercoat finish. Compatibility is ensured for both USDM and JDM valve covers, as well as 5-speed and 6-speed transmissions, with specific mounting brackets and valve cover fittings provided based on your selection. The system accommodates standard 2-port routing or an optional 3-port setup for direct venting to the engine block, suitable for increased ventilation needs with higher power applications. Installation is facilitated by direct-fit STM valve cover fittings, with a recommendation for a touch of glue or epoxy for optimal holding power in the valve cover. The package includes all necessary components, such as the catch can, breather filters, valve cover fittings (USDM or JDM specific), engine block fitting, and assorted Vibrant -6AN and -10AN hose ends and lines. STM products are proudly made in the USA and come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects to the original purchaser. Important Considerations: * The 3-port routing for venting to the engine block will not function if balance shafts are still present. * Select the correct transmission (5-Speed or 6-Speed) and valve cover type (USDM or JDM) during purchase to ensure proper fitment of the mounting bracket and rear valve cover fitting.
