I found a great deal on a billet aluminum catch can I think will fit our cars and only costs $31.01 (USD) delivered.
Here are the pictures of the item I received:
It is a well made piece and I know car parts. The 300 SRT on the magazine cover was my last show car build.
I have no affiliation with the manufacturer, I just like to save money and want to share what I find with the forum.
Yes, it comes from China and takes a month to get here.
Once I verify it fits you might save more than a few bucks by searching Ebay for a BMW 335 Catch can.
I put a stainless steel sponge in my catch can to try and catch more debris. The catch can you ordered looks very similar to the EC catch can as far as the filter goes. I have tried the EC catch can and a Mishimoto catch can in two cars of mine and I can say the Mishimoto works a lot better. I am currently running the EC on the fiat and the mishimoto on a 2011 Hyundai sonata with the 2.4 GDI and I have to empty that thing every thousand miles. I hardly catch anything in the fiat can.
Just search ebay for BMW 335i catch can. Its available in black and silver.
You do not need the kit with the hoses, just the catch can.
Do not buy the one with a breather vent either as it will throw a code.
To install you will need about 2 feet of 5/8th automotive hose and 4 worm clamps.
I have not noticed any blow by or smoke while driving or shifting but I have heard fiats need to have the AOS cleaned once in a while. Take some pictures of where you put this in in your engine bay, maybe I'll get one.
I'll try and post a picture. Been holding off as I'm waiting for some fancy braided hoses to arrive but I guess I can post one as-is.
As for the warranty, I used to be part of the DFW Chrysler LX club and EVERY car in the club ran an aftermarket catch can and no one ever got any flack from a dealer. Even if they did complain, reroute one hose and in 60 seconds you are back to stock.

I installed this a few months ago. Got the hoses from Auto Zone and the reducer Dorman- Help 5/8in X 3/4in Plastic Heater Hose Connector
Had to get a piece of aluminum to create the mount and had to modify it after installing the Abarth strut brace. I painted it black.

Must be different models for sale as the catch can I purchased fit the original hoses with no problem. If it doesn't conflict with forum rules I'm happy to share the link of the eBay vendor.

Thanks for this link and info! I just ordered one. It's coming from Hong Kong and I'm cheap so opted for the free shipping. Will report back here when it arrives and after installation.
Hello everyone,
I have researched in the forum before opening, but could not find any topic in this section.
As we know the Abarth 124 has its own LSD installed from the factory. Regarding the Fiat, I was wondering if an afermarket option exists, or if it can simply mount the same differential...
Hi, I am considering having a RM exhaust fitted but having difficulty in sourcing one in UK. The one I found was in excess of £1000!!! Thought may be cheaper from Canada/US or mainland Europe. Any ideas? Advice appreciated.
One point constantly brought up on this forum is what a restrictive P.O.S. the factory cross-pipe is because it narrows from 2 to 1.7 inches. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I haven't seen a replacement that doesn't require replacing the rest of the exhaust with 2 1/2 inch pipe. Why...
I received the mount for Christmas, and love it. I use the clamp, not the magnet, and today the clamp snapped in half when I went to put my phone in it.
I called Cravenspeed to try and buy just the clamp, and Darren was awesome. He told me it's a design defect, and they have not been able to...
Here are the 2 I found so far that peaked my curiosity, has anyone heard about, seen one or looked into this? I’m looking for maximum track protection. The car will be a dedicated track car and it’s going to see some wheel to wheel action and other fun time attack events in the next year.
what...
