Correct me if I am wrong but this is what I understand-
Passenger side PCV routing is clean air. Do not modify - leave untouched, no need to install a catch can on the passenger side PCV system (it's all connected regardless.)
IN fitting of catch can comes from driver's side valve cover PCV fitting. OUT fitting on catch can routes to the intake manifold fitting near/below the electronic throttle body.
I have a catch can coming next week, so this is what I know about it thus far.
I'll take a look. I was watching a video from an installation, possibly from a previous generation 5.3, if there was a different PCV routing for that era.Correct-ish.
The fitting on the intake manifold that you'll connect the hose from the catch can is at the top center, not near the TB. It's where the factory hose is going. The catch can is just spliced inline in that circuit from the back of the valve cover to the top center of the manifold.
Instead of:
Out of valve cover > In to manifold
it's
Out of valve cover > In to catch can > Out of catch can > In to manifold

Isn't that how it works on the 2014/2015+ motors? There is a quick disconnect hose on both the left and right side valve covers that both lead to the monstrosity of an air intake silencer tube pre-throttle body.It's the same on a Gen 3 as it is on a Gen 4. The Gen 3 car engines (LS1, etc.) had a slightly different setup since they were more hi-po with more vacuum, higher RPM, etc. and the TB sucked from both valve covers.

One of the videos I watched showed a quick-disconnect fitting on the intake manifold beneath the electronic throttle body.
Probably. I've seen it on the 2014+ Ecotecs but never studied the routing and flow. I'm referring to the Gen3 and Gen4 engines. That's a GenV engine. I guess I'm too old school.
