Default Catch Can
So I have an A&A supercharger... I'm looking for Catch Can options. What do you have? Any pictures.

Thanks,
JesseJay

I've got an RX can as well.

I had high hopes for it until the vendor stopped responding to PMs and forum posts directly asking for support on getting the installation right.

Will have it on the Z06 soon so will report on results when I have them.

Same here. Why should I give my business to someone who doesn't care about their customers?

Disappointing. It looked like a nice product.

Works very well in & out of boost.

wouldnt that hose to the intake manifold be sucking ? Also, if it goes to the intake you would need a 1 way check valve too.

Not yet. My plan it to find an F-bod or C5 with an LS1 and take the fitting from the back of the drivers side valve cover so I can run it to the catch can instead of using the valley cover.

I have some older valve covers on my z. I just have a breather from the ricer section at autozone. Can I route the line from the RX catch can that's supposed to go there somewhere else?

Why do this, instead of the valley cover? (Z06 owner) Just installed the catch can, using the evac from the PCV setup, and alternate vacuum for the 3rd port @ the intake. (pre turbo)

Valley cover does not flow as well as the valve cover and is not recommended for forced induction vehicles.

Guys, really don't like the breather on the oil fill. Is that really required?

The breather has a one-way valve - it allows air in ONLY.

My previous PCV implementation had a simple breather on the oil filler cap and it sprayed oil mist & smelled horrible.
