Too late for catch can

Is it too late to install catch can for my SS? I have 48K miles. Is there any gas additive I can use to clean the intake ports before I install catch can?

Take it to your dealership and have them do an upper inductions cleaning. Then install the catch can.

Don't waste your money.

1) you're already at 48k miles
2) your engine isn't DI
3) SEAFOAM ALL THE THINGS!

edit: dealer will charge between 150-400 for cleaning.

if you decide to buy a catch can, don't buy the cheapest system.

ps: apex is awesome
