You have to use it. Leave it in line when you hook it up.

I have a few questions
I've got a few questions.
Are those cans in the pics above being held in place by the hoses, or is there a bracket I don't see in the pics?
Do the hoses come with the cans or would I need to get them seperately?
Is there a write up anywhere on the install procedures, or do the cans come with good instructions (visual pics help)?
Where is the best place to get a catch can?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I put mine on the Battery partition. I don't have room on the front of the head because of my blower. I cut the AMW bracket off and used just the top portion to run the mounting screws into on the back side:
It works too. Time to start thinking about forged pistons...

my 2003 z06 has an external pcv. i ran the top line with the pcv to to top of the catch can. the bottom line off the engine is running to the bottom of the catch can. this is what the amw instructions showed. i have not seen pictures like this. is this correct?
