That aside I like the way the Morroco looks from a styling point. Only thing I don't like about it is the fact that the tubes plug in so far from each other rather than right next to each other.
I think there are to many variables to get a accurate reading because of driving styles, miles on the car, miles between oil changes, mods, even type of oil could change how much you collect. Just as each can is slightly different, each engine is slightly different, each persons driving style is different.

First an FX, now a Morroco, man, I had no idea there were so many different makes.

at 6:30, that little 90 is what you would attach your catch can to. If you don't you have to put the breather on that you see him do later on in the video.
I actually installed mine by that video. If I use the 90 and not the T fitting, which isn't listed on the parts list, then I can't hook the breather back up. I tried to put the 3/8 hose from the dual valve can to the fitting and I couldn't get it to work. I had some 7/16 line and was able to fit it on the end of the "T" fitting, but it was so sloppy on the can that I had to use a hose clamp. Not very clean looking. The hose is barely on the fitting and I'm afraid that it will come off at the worst time possible.

I just measured the 90 and it's ID is 3/8" the OD is 1/2". The hose that they supply for the breather is 1/2".

That is my dilemma. I must just be dumber than dirt cause I can't find anyone else that has had this problem. The valve on the can is 3/8" OD and the fitting/ bung is 1/2" OD.

I've been turning a wrench since the 80's and I would just like it to fit properly and have it look clean. I can make it work but I don't like that it doesn't look clean.

If you're hooking the CAI up to the Catch can (you need to have three ports on the top of your can) then you just run it straight to the 90 degree. Doing this replaces the breather as you are giving it a source of clean air.

At least that's my interpretation of it. If you have the RX can you could always call them or just call Roto-Fab (don't PM) and walk them through what you're trying to do.

just messing, heck, I thought it was a good idea to post a poll on cans. Seems to be a big topic around here.

the bracket that it comes with is specific to the ZL1. I'm not sure if it will work with an SS or V6 model(s).

Thanks for everyones help with the fitting. It's greatly appreciated. I'll end up going with the reducer, that you guys recommend. I feel really stupid even asking about this. Especially since no one else has come up with the same problem. I was trying to find a "T" fitting with the correct sizes thinking that the reducer wouldn't look clean but after seeing that pic of a reducer installed I agree it does look clean.

Was able to find the fitting at Advance Auto for 2.99
