Cheap oil catch can pics
I posted about this in the forsale section and got several I/M's requesting pics, so rather than do that I figured I would get it all done in one swoop..
Here it is, a cheap ebay catch can.
Refer to original post HERE.
The pictures are poor quality from my phone but you get the idea.

Mine has a GReddy sticker on it if you look close enough.
I forgot to mention it comes with both 9mm (small) and 15mm (large) hose nipples.

I have the same can... nice piece. it bolts to the head drilling out one of the holes in the supplied bracket. I also rotated the top piece moving the hoses position. Also, use a lil silicone sealer to make sure the bottom wont unscrew. I also then took a piece of hose and glued it in the brass fitting on the top. It extends down a lil in the can. This is on the side from the motor, not the one to the intake.
NOTE: THE PCV Valve is Now located on the other side of the canister. works MUCH better this way. It's properly oriented on the side before the can going to the motor, not the intake side. I have also cleaned up the hoses and am not using the hardline anymore.

Just accept that the price + the shipping is the total shipped price.

Is there a way to splice in the line from the valve cover to the air bridge so no oil gets sucked into the throttle body??
I have the LS2 and Fast also

In your referenced thread: is the that the exact EBAY description of the can system that you bought? It looks cool and the price is certainly right. I did a search on "C5 oil catch can" and didn't really pull up anything like yours. I know others will work, but just wanted to be sure. Did you put (stainless) steel wool in yours? Thanks!

I put steel wool in mine to help keep the bigger part of the oil in the can and let it breath at the same time.
