The Texas Speed Universal Recirculated Style Catch Can Kit is a closed-loop oil separator that pulls oil vapor out of the crankcase ventilation path before it reaches the intake. The can body is machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum with a 6 oz reservoir and finished in black anodize. Inside, a four-chamber baffle arrangement forces the vapor through several direction changes so oil drops out and collects in the reservoir instead of coating the intake tract.
The recirculated design returns the cleaned vapor to the intake, which keeps odor down compared with a vented can. A knurled dipstick allows the oil level to be checked without opening the can, the baffle plates remove for cleaning, a Viton O-ring comes pre-installed, and a drain provision is available. Texas Speed includes an LS-specific bracket and a universal mounting bracket. Hoses and fittings are not included unless the optional hose kit is added.

FAQ
What engines does the Texas Speed Universal Recirculated Catch Can Kit fit?
The Texas Speed Universal Recirculated Style Catch Can Kit is a universal catch can. Texas Speed lists it as compatible with GM Gen III and Gen IV LS engines and includes an LS-specific bracket along with a universal mounting bracket for other installations.
What is included in the Texas Speed catch can kit?
The base kit includes the 6061-T6 billet catch can with the pre-installed Viton O-ring and knurled dipstick, an LS-specific bracket and a universal mounting bracket. Hoses, clamps and barb fittings are not included unless the optional TSP Catch Can Hose Kit is added at ordering.
What is a recirculated style catch can?
A recirculated, or closed, catch can routes the crankcase vapor back into the intake after the oil has been separated out, rather than venting it to the atmosphere. Texas Speed notes this reduces odor and keeps emissions cleaner than a vented can.
How does the Texas Speed catch can separate oil from the vapor?
The can uses a four-chamber baffled interior that forces the vapor through multiple direction changes. Oil drops out of the air stream and collects in the 6 oz reservoir, where it can be checked with the dipstick and emptied or drained.
Can the Texas Speed catch can be cleaned?
Yes. The baffle plates are removable for cleaning, the knurled dipstick shows the oil level without disassembly, and the can has an optional drain provision for emptying collected oil.
