[jough]

I've been watching this item for a long time. It has been back-ordered for months, but is now in stock according to the website. I will order one today. Are there any active coupon codes?

Cool looking goody. How exactly does it work? What is the primary performance benefit?

LS engines have a habit of sucking oil into the intake thru the PCV valve. This catch can separates the air and oil. It keeps the insides of intake cleaner.

what other mounting options do we have for this? My truck's EGR system is mounted where they have their catch can.. I need this, but need options to mount it.

nothing on the can in this thread.. THIS is the one I'm interested in since it has the sight window the side. everything else is a one bolt affair. maybe drill/tap the accesory bracket and mount there..oh well..i'll figure it out..

Got the Speed Engineering Catch Can installed and plumbed. You'll need to buy about 6' of 3/8" vacuum hose, two Tees and one or two elbows. I used anti-seize on the bolts going into the head and blue Loc-tite on the bolts going into the catch can.
Nothing registering on the sight tube yet.

I just did the Seafoam aerosol thru the throttle body treatment (VERY LITTLE smoke) and I'll change the oil soon.

Can you post a pic of your install? Thinking of doing this.......

See the link in the original post for pics on Speed Engineering website. The hose plumbing is very simple. Both valve cover vents go to one side of the catch can. I used the IN side closest to the engine. The passenger side vent tube is above the valve cover and pointing toward the front and the driver side is at the rear of the valve cover pointing up.

The OUT side of the catch can goes to two connections on the intake manifold. The passenger side connection is just behind the throttle body and the driver side is top center of the intake.

The passenger side connections are very short. I routed the driver side hoses in the space under the throttle body and above the water pump.

All the above is for a 2005 LQ9 using a 2004 5.3 flex fuel intake manifold. Others may slightly differ.

The catch can does not have IN and OUT marked, so you can do whatever you like. I got the hose & 3/8" fittings at O'Reilly's.
The clear sight tube is included with the kit. There are no instructions included.
