Default OIL Catch Can???

Wonder if it's really worth it. I know it's not an expensive mod.

I don't plan to track my 6 speed but just like to " get on it" every once in awhile.

Also on my previous C5 while adding a ported throttle body the tech added a coolant bypass tube.

Can the coolant bypass be done on a C6??

What say you?

If you like to keep as much oil out of your intake, get a cc. There are many threads here on the subject. The Elite can is probably the most widely used.

I have no knowledge on the coolant bypass you mentioned.

C6 doesn't have a coolant line warming the throttle body.

For your use, catch can probably not necessary. GM didn't put on on there and they know about the oil injection issues. I doesn't really hurt anything despite what you may hear.

Search for threads on catch can and you all be reading for a month if you like.
