Has anyone installed a CAI while keeping the factory 1LE PCV Oil Separator in place?

Cool thanks. So the PCV hose that came with the Airaid is long enough to reach the back of the 1LE can without kinking?

The hose that comes with the Araid comes off.The hose/line that comes with the OEM catch can hooks to the whole that the hose/line came off from the CAI and the little rubber cap goes on the engine where the other end of the hose that is hooked to the CAI was on.

Here's what I did with my roto-fab...same idea. Use the line provided with the separator to run most of the way to the cai tube. It's not the prettiest setup but it works with no problem

I like yours better Ozzy,i had to turn the catch can a little to get the hose to work. I think i should get another hose for the CAI and cut it so size,mine would look much better.

Yeah that came out pretty good Ozzy. Is that a piece of the tubing that came with the Roto-fab?

OzzySS · 03-12-2013, 02:15 PM

Thanks guys. And yeah, all the tubing I've used is what was supplied. Had to rotate the connections a little on the can and intake to do this, but everything seems to be running fine.

Here is my set up with a CAI....

cornerspeed92 · 03-12-2013, 04:22 PM

Ozzy and Tram are you guys running that OEM all the time?

SC2150 · 03-12-2013, 04:31 PM

I would run it all the time...it is an excellent solution coupled w/the RX catchcan....better than the breather option by far.

I can see no reason not to constantly....this is the best all arounf clean and dirty side solution.
