any will work since they are all mostly a generic design with different size/shape/colored cans. It should work but there is really no need for it unless you have a highly moded motor.

yes it may keep it slightly cleaner but its isn't worth the time and money on a stock engine IMO.

Hey if it makes the engine last 10,000 miles more than without it then its worth it. Anything you can do to extend the life of your vehicle isn't a waist of time or money in my book.

I'm not so sure about lasting 10,000 extra miles, but i do know that a catch can is important for turbochargers. It def extends the life of a turbo. I derno about extending life of an n/a engine. If it does than I highly doubt that it extends it by that much.

+1, beat me to it

I doubt it would help a N/A engine much.
