Be more specific.

A Catch can is usually used for oil.
A Water bottle is usually one that re-circulates, and is for the radiator. - For Street cars.

(Drag) Race cars can use catch cans for the radiator, since they only do small runs at a time

I have both. What do you need to know?

Why can't you mount the stock overflow bottle somewhere else like on the guard? Just make sure it's lower than the radiator cap so it works correctly.

I had a similar problem with mine after I installed a CP Racing strut bar. My stock coolant catch can had already been relocated because of the intercooler piping and intake bonnet. I was running out of room so I ditched it and bought a CSI catch can out of Summit Racing for about 40 bucks. You can see where I ended up mounting it in the pics. It's fairly slim in design and can be mounted in the engine bay any way you like.
