Just installed a new catch can setup to help with the boost going into the motor. I had a front mount can with 3/8 lines attached to the factory fittings. I wanted something that would breathe alot better and located in the rear of the car to get rid of the smell in the cabin from the vented can.


Whole setup was just under $200 for everything. Set up has 1/2/-10AN fittings that are tapped into the valve covers, 5/8 Hose, -10AN fittings on the hoses and Tee. Also plugs to fill the factory holes. Baffles still reinstall in the valve covers. Took a couple hours and and very easy do it yourself.

Both sides come together with a 90 elbow from pass side into a -10AN tee and out on 1 5/8 line to the can

I couldn't decide if i wanted the can back by the rear end, but i found this spot to work great. I can reach right in and drain as needed without jacking the car up or removing the belly pan.
