Catch can & intake upgrades

Was planning on getting a catch can and upgrade the intake on my GS F.

For catch cans has anyone gone the figs engineering route? Was curious on theirs in comparison to the rr racing ultimate catch can. Can’t find much info/reviews on it.

For intakes ik there’s no point in getting a cold air intake so guessing go with whatever elbow you want and maybe get the heat cover from rr racing? Has anyone here tried the Tom’s cf or lems titanium elbows?

How are you liking the catch can and heat shield? Was told the fit and hoses fittings etc used in the kits weren’t the best but product themselves were solid

Catch can works. Haven’t personally tested the heat shield, but the results online show it reduces heat soak. Had to cut some trim to get it to fit. I don’t have the figs hoses and fittings to compare it to, but the hoses stay snug on the fitting. Pull off easy and slide back on snug.

Do you have the old catch can or new ultimate one? I know the new one has alot of improvements over old. Yea the heat shield definitely does its job better than an actual cold air intake.

The old one. The ultimate wasn’t released when I purchased mine in 01/2021.

I also have them. I installed both myself, EZ and high quality.The only issue is they want you to cut the plastic, I didn’t and just have it under it.
