L99 Catch Can Hose Routing Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*mlee* · 09-12-2010, 11:16 AM

The L99 has different hose routing than the LS3 and most instructions I've found are all based on LS3.
I haven't seen any good pics of an L99 setup w/o supercharger or vortech.

Elite Engineering posted the first picture below which basically says to cut a piece out of the line and place the catch can inline...

My question is, once a piece is cut out, how do you get the hose near the throttle body routed back toward the passenger side? It's either going to stick straight up or toward the driver side.

Any suggestions / pics?

Yeah I am interested for the answer to the question before I purchase one.

Hope his helps. You cut a secion out off that line so all fits nicely.

Ok that cleared it up for me ....and im assuming that they have clamp available for a more secure fit on those

Clamps aren't needed as there shouldn't be that much air pressure to blow the tubing lose. If you still want them, you can buy 4 clamps at any automotive store for $2-$3. Advanced Auto has a 4 pack of the screw kind for $2.50 and Auto Zone has a 8 pack of the squeeze kind for $4.

I just bought enough tranny coolant line to just run all new lines so there would be no splices anywhere. This way I could run the line where I wanted to run it and to make it look as neat and clean as possible.

Thanks!!! definitely appreciate the pics. Your last pic was pretty much what I was after. It just looked to me that the hose didn't have room to make a 90deg bend without crimping...

I'm sure this will help others too... thanks again...

I didn't cut my existing line. I just removed it and ran the supplied hose all the way to the back in piece. Seems to work fine this way.

SC2150 · 11-17-2010, 08:19 PM

Good thinking!! Send detailed pics please, anything to make these easier & cleaner to install everyone appreaciates.
