Catch Can Installed
So I just got my RX Performance catch can installed today. I read a lot of reviews online and just about every review was positive. Plus I live only 20 minutes from their shop and figured I would bring the car down there and have them do the install.
The unit looks very nice, is painted to match the color of the car, and I must say Tracey was a pleasure to deal with. He was very informative during the install as I was there with him installing it. He explained everything in detail and explained how everything works.
For those debating whether or not to have a catch can installed, I would highly recommend it, especially if you are running forced induction. My oil level is at the correct level and I had some oil in my intake, not a lot, but there still was some in there. This is now just one thing less that I have to worry about.

Hey Brian. Nicely done! I had one on my CTS-V Wagon for 2 year without issue and I ended up catching a LOT of oil over that time that would have otherwise ended up in my intake. Your car is coming together nicely. I might have to come over and drive it finally

Vic,
I had some oil in my intake so it is getting in there. Thanks for the suggestion on the RX can, Tracey was a real nice guy.
I'm going to order some custom braided hose tonight to dress it up a little bit.
Just let me know when you want to take it for a spin.

Looks great, man!
If you want to get some fancy hose, go with Earl's Pro-Lite 350. That's what my LMR can uses, and I was going to source some more. Not cheap, but if you only need 3 feet, it's manageable. 10-foot sections start getting stupidly expensive, though!

I prefer to go the vacuum pump route if I do modify the PCV system. It's a 100% solution.

I just replaced the vacuum lines with steel braided lines. I only needed two boxes of band aids.https://www.corvetteforum.com/c7-gen...1&d=1395072322
