RX Catch Can Install?
Howdy! I just gor the RX Catch Can for FI (i.e. the one with three openings and the check valve) as well as the vented oil cap for the passenger side valve cover.
Question- I am fine with the connections to the intake and the nipple just behind the throttle body, I'm just not seeing the one on the Driver's side valve cover. Anybody have pic of their setup?
Also- I have an A&A bracket, if I use the longer bolt as recommended, what are the torque specs for the bolt?
Thanks!

I'd like to know too. I've tried a couple times to get clarification from them but haven't received a response. Annoying to say the least.
Only thing I've concluded is that is something that LS1's have that LS6's do not have.

Can somebody else speak up on this who has installed this solution on a Z06?

Seems the LS6 pulls from the valley cover. So we need to be connecting to that. Now where is that hose routed in the stock setup?

Here's my installation (2001 C5 vert) :
Image modified from LS1.com
I was able to reuse the elbow connection at the back of the driver's side valve cover, and a couple of hose clamps. Everything else was replaced with parts from the RX kit.

But it would have been nice to have been told about that by the guy who sold me the catch can. He still hasn't answered my PM...

Well I'm half way through installing mine, The valves in mine were facing the wrong way, so I had to try to spin them around so that they would face the right way. This was a HUGE f'n pain in the ***.
I've almost got everything mounted up...I just hope this POS actually works. Great idea, poor execution
