Catch Can Installation with a different approach.

StormSS · 03-18-2019, 01:52 PM

Did my installation today. Only cost $50. The beam clamp makes for easy removal for checking the oil and also to remove the setup for dealer servicing. I cut the connectors off of the OEM PCV Tube that i bought.Let me know what you guys think.

No it won't. Did the install Friday. Drove a few hundred miles and it's as tight as it was when I put it on

Looks butchered to me, but A for effort. I do agree catch cans for the Camaro are a bit overpriced but hey those little things like perfectly formed lines with natural bends and perfectly placed brackets its what makes the difference for me but like I said A for effort you have the idea just it looks exactly like what a $50 can would look like.

I really don't stare at my engine so I could care less.

Truly A for effort, And yes overpriced they are... But for such a nice car it does look cheap to me.. But each his own... But, you don't just look at your engine and engine bay... I will pour a good Bourbon, light up a smoke and stare at mine for hours thinking of the next thing on the list... lol

Great job... nice engineering

bturner2 · 03-21-2019, 08:31 AM

Great job. Now all you need is a anodized billet version of the clamp to make it pretty.....

I think you mean you couldn't careless...same here!
I have never seen a modern day engine bay that made me go...WOW!
They all look pretty hosed out to me...LOL!

The main thing is it works!

Nice to see innovation! Nice job on the install. A couple of comments, that Catch Can will probably only trap about 15% of the oil and other contaminants entering allowing most to simply pass through, and with a GDI engine they can tolerate NO ingestion, so it might not help that much.

Can you open it up and share a few pictures on the internals? Curious to see what they are doing inside
