A few pictures to give an idea of how this can mounts in the bay.







A couple 90 degree fittings up front will really set it off.

This is a hot topic over at the ecoboost forums. There is some very good information on proper catch cans and the nasty crap that it captures, especially for the forced induction applications. You want catch cans? We got catch cans.

How much for a catch tank like this? With no filters on top and 3 fittings. 2 from vc and 1 for drain to crankcase? VS a tank for 2 filters and only 2 fittings? This sounds like a better idea. How much shipped to B0J1T0 Canada? Will it have a tab for mounting? The tanks in the above pics look great!

Thought I remembered something like this in the past http://www.sr20-forum.com/overkill-engineering-motorsports/34062-slim-fit-catch-can.html
Not sure if it helps but perhaps a conversation with those who bought one?

The tank that fits in front of the driver's strut tower has mounting tabs on the bottom and side to keep them hidden. That catch tank ran him $150+shipping. The design you're talking about would run the same price. The fittings cost more than the filters. As far as the shipping is concerned I'm guessing that it would be roughly $30-$40 dollars to ship to Canada.

Not crazy about the design, but I have built a can in the past very similar to that but with baffling instead of steel wool.

Can you use hose barbs instead of the AN fittings? and go with no filters as Coach mentioned, so 3 hose barbs instead of the 2. Will this be cheaper than $150?

I'll have to locate some aluminum hose barbs for you. Price won't be any cheaper for a custom catch can.
