Thanks for the link, I read so many threads on catch can installs I went crossed eyed there for a while. Anyway to answer your question I ordered my RX Catch Can on 4-24-13, and it arrived today! Yeah, it was a long wait, just wish the connectors on top were labeled. Sent an email to Phastek Perdormance, ordered my CAI thru them, they asked me to give them a call. Will do tomorrow, curious to see their solution. Again, thanks for the link.

Just out of curiosity, I haven't installed yet, but what would happen if it was connected the complete opposite of the below diagram. In other words the intake to the manifold, I guess the center hose would still be the same, to the valley cover, and the manifold to the CAI. Just wondering what would happen. I'm assuming that the manifold hose, the first one closest to the mounting handle/bracket, but it seems just as easily somebody could turn the can around and reverse the process since the can isn't marked. Would it throw a code immediately? Just wondering, be so easy to stamp the can inlets and preclude any misconceptions on the proper procedures.

Mine is reversed like you're wondering. No codes at all. I don't think it matters.

Really, I was wondering about that and it just seems so likely that someone would do just that, install them in the reverse order. Anyway I sent the diagram to RX, Karen to be specific, since I'm waiting now on the hose "connector reducer" $6 from JEGs, because the connections on the can and air intake are different sizes, 3/8th and 1/2 inch. But I figured I'd send RX the diagram I'll be using to do my install. Also suggested stamping the top of the cans 1,2,3 next to each inlet/connector with instructions like connect hose 1 to the manifold inlet, connect hose 2 to the valley etc... That way we would have clear and concise install instructions. Reading thru all these threads you end up more confused with all the different people arguing over which way to do the connections.

I noticed some of the hoses have check valves in them, does the ZL1 need the two hoses with the check valves? Just wondering, the hoses I received Do Not have the check valves.

I think the RX uses check valves in the top of the can or the fitting on the top of the can. Can anyone confirm that?
Not sure how much it maters since the factory system doesn't have check valves.
