Did you ever hear that you get what you pay for? I looked at alot of them from $30 to ones that were out of sight. I decided on the Billet Tech one because it came with bracket and pluming for the 5.7 Hemi, and it was recommended by alot of guys on the forum. The Billet Tech is litteraly a plug and play deal, 1 bolt and it's mounted and looks like it's supposed to be there. I've never seen the other ones that have been recommended but they must be good to be recommended on here. The one I got also fell into the price range that I was willing to spend.

I totally get what you're saying. I am sure the qauility of it isn't the greatest, but by design, you really can't mess something like this up...

Or can you.. :)

In theory no, I just liked the looks of the Billet Tech and the ease of installation. Once I actually had it in my hands I was totally impressed.

I used an air compressor filter that I got from Home Depot for $25 lol. Works the same so far, empty it every 3 weeks or so.

If you want to save a few bucks you can get the NPR one on Ebay. It's basically a billet copy but comes with that oh so convenient feature of a drain valve...

I think I might look into that home Depot diy also. I have 52k on my 2013, not too late to put one on? I looked down through the theottle body yesterday and put my finger through there down in the intake and had that oily residue on my fingers. Tb was clean as I thoroughly cleaned it out about 10000 ago.

Mines a JDM off ebay. Smaller than billets but definitely wanted a drain valve

did you install it already? I'm not a fan of the drain port. the other ones I've seen are smaller, and seem to have a better connection for a hose. Thoughts?

Moroso, very well made, easy to drain and installed literally in minutes. Only downside is the price of $150, I found one on eBay new for $80 and snatched it up.

Yep, its installed. I used a brass hose connection on drain but havent drained it yet. Will be figuring out if its better to drain or unscrew and dump, leaning towards unscrewing so i can inspect the crud

I have the billet tech and pleased. I agree the drain would be useful however there is always some crud on the bottom and I can see that plugging the drain. Unscrewing, dumping, and wiping out inside of canister is no problem.

Some decent ones on Amazon for under $40 with good ratings.

I have the Mishimoto can on mine. I checked it after approx 1000 miles and it had about 3/4”. I don’t care what brand you get, just get one because they work. You look inside the can and think, damn I’m glad that was prevented from going any further.
