Default Looking for catch can install instructions

I bought a Colorado Speed premium catch can with clean side separator. Didn't come with any instructions and they have not answered my email request for same. Can anyone point me towards some install instructions, preferably something photo heavy or even a vid? I'm a visual guy. thanks.

What year is your car? Z51?

Pictures of what you have would really be helpful!

Looks the same to me... unless your catch can has different entry/exit than elite. Installation is same. Just will have some left over parts. GL.

Here are mine for anyone looking (C7 base and Z51). Even though I am just a one man band, these go out with every kit, are available directly on the website, and always looking for customer feedback to improve

Excellent instructions David. Buyers can be confident your systems are properly fitted to the application. That's the difference between selling solutions and selling cans.
