I have a thread devoted to installing a catch can on my 2013 Grand Sport. I'll try to check out what the exact connection sizes are for you.

I had to get some threaded connections from Mishimoto & what we did was, took the elbow that one end is threaded to fit the 10 AN braided hose & the other end has a grooved attachment so shrinkable rubber hose can heat shrink onto it. Totally sealed up. It's hard for me to explain. My good buddy did the running around & shopping for the connections, & most of the installation. If you need more info, I will get it from him & post some more details. Just let me know.

That looks pretty slick. I was considering something a little simpler using some black low pressure fuel hose and a catch can left over from an unrelated project. I'm guessing I'll need 5/16 or 3/8 fuel line but I'm not sure. I could wait till I'm into the job but I'm trying to reduce downtime by having all the materials on hand before I start the project.

#10AN is 5/8" ID right? That is bigger than I expected. Was that what was needed or just what was convenient?

It was not really a cheap or convenient kit-lol I think they are 5/8"... (http://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-b...catch-can.html)-You can scroll down on the baffled oil catch can page from Mishimoto & see what the kit comes w/and the optional fittings. BTW I used all the optional braided hoses & fittings. If you're in Texas you can come get the stuff the kit came with. I have all the rubber hoses & regular fittings still. I just selected the 10AN braided steel hoses & had to special request the fittings & red brackets as options...(http://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-t...coolers.html#5)

Thanks for the offer but I'm in SoCal so that's a bit of a drive!

Do you recall what was the inside diameter of the hose, 5/16" or 3/8" perhaps?
