Great can and I've seen the people that do have it, like it. Matt @ fsp can get you a deal on one.
Better than the RX?

Don't have to wait as long. They are pretty much the same just the Rx can is bigger. If you want to wait 2+months then get the Rx if you want a catch can now get the Mike Norris. Although I would recommend the Elite can, not as much of a pain to drain.

ok awesome, thanks! yeah, I know how to make cat5 and rj-45 cables.

I just want a good can, easy to drain, and doesn't require hoses everywhere.

I have had multiple people tell me that when I get on it, they smell burnt oil. So I popped my hood and could see oil build up around the port next to MAF on my Cold air intake.

That's from the fresh air line.

Also have a black Rx cc with braided lines if you're interested.

Like you are selling?

Has anyone had any gains from just the plenum spacer?

Yes I'm selling.

I have the mace plenum spacer and felt the idle was smoother but didn't feel the same HP as the lower intake spacer...then again that's not what it was made for. Also selling.

I am looking for a ported tb, ice-olator, and spacer. with longer bolts, but I have heard that the spacer and ice-olator don't allow the engine cove to fit correctly?

Like the Kj and Lil nasty said above the Mike Norris can is a great can much better than others you can buy. But by far the easiest can to drain that does its job very well is the elite. But if you can get a Rx can from Lil nasty at a good price don't see why not to go with it.

What was the plenum spacer made for as opposed to the ice-olator?

Plenum spacer was designed to increase the volume of air that could be held in the manifold but it produced almost no gains what's so ever. But it is also supposed to help with false knock on these motors. I'm sure someone else can give you a better explanation
