I think this one is the best deal ultimately

Most dont seem to have the viewing glass especially at this price point

Lots of complaints with leaks on this one, and most drain their OCC with each oil change so seeing what is in there is no big deal as I have never drained enough oil to fill 1/8 of the capacity. But the price is right if as the reviews say you can get it sealed. I love my Damond, easy to drain, out of the way and high quality but not cheap.

...and it IS just as 'plug and play' as the Mishi, with the factory connectors already on the hoses, as well as an in-line check valve

FYI Damond has 10% off thru the 4th

Saw ^ thread after my original post

Anyone having issues with their Damond lines cracking? I noticed both of my blue hoses have little cracks in the bend and on the lower connection.

^^^Not so far, but I DO wish that they were multi-ply, reinforced, high grade silicone instead of the EPDM, or whatever they are made out of as supplied by Damond.

Has anyone tried reinforcing their Damond lines? I’ve just installed my OCC and I’ve noticed that the lines are rubbing against metal (and apparently they also crack after some time) – was thinking of wrapping them in something durable

Mine are fully covered in that heat resistant, black plastic, split convoluted wire/hose loom stuff, with some high density foam tucked inside of it at the contact points (like the engine cover's lower left hand corner, when I have that installed during cooler weather).
This also makes it look 'factory' enough to fool most of the techs as well, if/when it has to go back to the dealer.

I just had mine off when I installed my downpipe and wrapped a few zip ties around areas that showed signs of rubbing to create a bumper.

Those with Damond cans, please check the hose just after the check valve. They way I routed it, one of the engine mount bolts was digging into the hose and it was worn down to the braiding. Bought some new 5/8 heater hose and clamps for the fittings to replace it. Looking for heat resistant "cable looms" you know the corrugated pipe looking things? If anyone knows where to get ones that could stand under hood temperatures, send a link this way? Thanks!

I literally just spoke with the owner of Damond in person on Thursday and showed him my hoses and he said they are looking into the issue.

Hrm...

Should i hold off on purchasing a Damond can? I almost pulled the plug but now im thinking i might want to wait. Any official word?

 

[jayrod1980]

Why would you wait? I've had the Damond catch can for over a year and about 25,000 miles. Zero problems... very easy to drain and catches a lot of gunk in the winter. It gets down into the 30's in the winter and out to 117F in the summer and not had a single problem. Getting alerts in my email on this thread it's like a 99 to 1 vote for the Damond can... seems to be the best to me, despite not having a cool glass viewing gauge. If your can fills too much, something's probably wrong with your car. I drain mine every 5,000 miles and it's never been full enough to worry about the level of gunk collected.

At most its going to be a plastic sleeve like the one circled. Might also be a slight adjustment to how long the hoses are or where the bracket is placed vertically on the can.

Nothing to wait for IMO.

 

[KKaWing]

There's nylon sleeving available now. Just email Damond Motorsports and he can email you an invoice with them if its not on the site yet.

 

[HardBoiledEgg]

I called him yesterday and he said it would fit my 2017 in case we already didn't know that

 

[Magsz]

Sounds good guys!!!!!

I just figured if the design was going to change it might be worthwhile to wait. Im in no rush to spend money.

 

[KKaWing]

In case anyone is wondering what the nylon sleeves Damond is shipping, here is a picture.

Edit: the sleeve covers the entire length of both the hoses and are already cut to length.
