3.3TT Mishimoto's Stinger GT Catch Can Thread

[Hockster]

@Mishimoto I sent a PM on Saturday regarding your catch can. Can you please respond?

Probably best to email them directly. Most vendors don't enable notifications.

I used their email on the website on Saturday and got no response from that either.

Just went over to the Mishimoto website and it looks like they're having a sale on their catch cans if anyone is interested.

My Mishimoto finally arrived today. Easy install, but that one clamp is a bit of a pain to get off.

Agreed, that back clamp is the toughest part of the install. I wound up pretty much destroying that clamp getting it off when I did mine. Those things are terrible in general but even worse when in an awkward position like that. If I ever had to reinstall factory PCV, I wouldn't put that type of clamp on again.

Anyone else having trouble finding stock of these catchcans?

Installed the Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can tonight, was a bit of work. Does it look like I have the hoses correct? Figured i had a 50% chance of having it right.

what catch can is that? Any reason you got the generic mishi one instead of the mishi one made for the stinger?

I did not realize it was generic, and liked how it looked.

im sure it will function fine, just doesnt look factory compared to the one made for the stinger.

The all-thread stud to secure the catch can brace broke as soon as I tried tightening it down. The stud didn't look like it ever held anything together. Is it fine if I secured a bolt in place?

The same exact thing happened to me on my install. It left a little hole in the fender in its place when the bolt snapped off.

I just went to my local hardware store and tried some stainless steel bolt/nut/washer sizes until I found a length and thread that fit well to hold everything together. It's been about a year and it's been fine, no issues. The hardest part is getting your hand up in the fender to hold a washer and bolt in place while someone else screws the nut on under the hood.

I will say that it took almost no pressure to ring the bolt off when I did my install, it never had a chance. Those bolts aren't meant to screw things onto really. Kind of a weak design by mishimoto, but not sure how they could improve upon it while not complicating the install.
