Catch can install

Clean335d · 03-14-2017, 08:51 AM

Hi there,

Is there anyone out there that has a good solution for routing a catch can system from the CCV to the intake?
I know the stock plastic piping connected to the ccv is an awkward design and shape, so this makes it quite a challenge to route hoses and fittings to a catch can.
Any advice pictures/diagrams would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Why not buy the burgermotorsports catch can?

I checked out a few different types including the BMS.

Im just having a hard time justifying spending $150+ on an item that I can probably make myself. There are so many variations out there, baffled, double baffled with breather element etc for much cheaper. The catch can design is really simple and what you are paying for is the brand name. By the time it's installed, you won't even notice it there.
I am probably going with a Chinese ebay can.
