Title: Carbon filter - catch can related Q
Post by: berg on July 04, 2011, 10:45:50 pm

Hi Guys,

Is the carbon filter the black cylindrical object down by where you would unscrew the housing to get to the headlight bulbs?

Thinking of getting the Forge catch can and just trying to make sure buy the right one...

thanks.

Just to be sure, we are talking about this cannister, correct?
