I put a ball valve on the bottom of my UPR can for easy draining
That wasn't even an option when I got my can or I would have gotten one.

That is kind of the problem with the continued updates and improvements. Sometimes you now longer have the best.

Very true.

Adding a ball valve is something you could do quite easily as you are probably aware. A trip to your hardware store should do the trick. I like it because I don't have to open the can and risk damaging O rings and it makes emptying a breeze.

My can has no provisions to add a ball valve. I don't have the plug like I've seen in some pictures. I would have to drill the correct size hole in the bottom of my can and I'm not about to do that.

The ball valve setup is one thing I really like about my Bob's can.

That UPR can looks like a seriously nice piece with a well-thought-out design. Combined with the check ball, it's the can to go with IMO.

Oh my bad, do you have the quick release can that sits behind the coolant reservoir? If so this one does not have a drain plug as you know.

I have the remote mount can that mounts on the radiator support behind the passengers headlight. It has a drain plug that can be changed to the ball valve.

No, my car is a 2014 and it's mounted at the firewall. When I got my can, I don't think they were offering the drain plug on any of their newer four chamber cans.

Mushimoto has a really nice one coming out too which in initial test have seen to perform very well
Thanks for the kind words! :thumbsup:


If you haven't already had a chance to check them out here are some photos of the internals of our catch can before and after testing.









Feel free to check out our R&D thread HERE for more info and photos!

Let me know if you have any questions, I would happy to discuss our kit.
