Hi Vettenuts; I'm currently searching the forum for a catch can installation when I came across this thread. Would your pics include which hoses from the LS1 goes to the catch can? I'm looking at all these pics and still can't be sure which hoses I'm suppose to tap into. I've got the Greedy catch can with a few extra parts in the kit that I'm not sure what to do with because I didn't get any instructions with it. Does anyone else know of a install document I can use?
Thanks in advance.

Default Kinda New to this.....

Hey guys, Off the track question but related... In the past, I used to change the PCV valve on my cars when I did a major tune up, every couple of yrs. Its a cheap thing anyways for like $4 or so. I wanted to change the PCV valve on my 99 coupe, and can't seem to find where its located. Are the design of these cars so diff that the PCV is hard to take out or hard to find? I think I'm missing the obvious points where it should be. Plz help me find it...

Next question. Once I find it, I'm gonna change the PCV valve, but then I would also like to install one of these catch can things.. since you all brag so much about it. AMW is too expensive for me. Ebay's got some decent prices. Any favorites ??????????

Thanks...

Thanks in advance.

The line from the engine should go to the can so that it flows through whatever filter media your can has to help precipitate out the oil. The return line (to the intake) should connect to the other fitting on the can.

Thanks H20Vette, Now I need to know if the PCV valve should go before the can, after it, or does it really matter?
