Catch Can Install

For the life of me I can't find the loop to disconnect to install my Catch Can
Did a search before this post but nothing. Since it's a manual it should just be one short loop right behind the TB, but I got this Custom Intake Manifold and 2 long rubber hoses are on where the loop should be, and they going towards the back. F@cking N00bs (me)

On a stock manifold its right at the manifold and TB, a port from the valley cover to the port next on the neck of the manifold. Which manifold do you have, or a picture would help. All you need on your custom manifold is a clean vacuum and use the dirty side to the valley plate.

lol yep. That's why I asked. Mine is an RX with only 2 ports, one goes to my valley tray, and the other goes to the back of my LOD manifold.

Correct, any two port catch can should have the dirty side from valley or driver cover, and the clean side to a vacuum port on the intake manifold. Super simple

Awesome, I got that right! lol. When my tune shop installed the LOD for me, they had it backwards, I didn't think it looked correct, so I fixed it. I figured that's how it should be. My driver side valve cover is capped off.

MightyMouse Mild Catch Can (2 Port) not the bypass ... Damn, I gotta rip the low profile manifold up for that?
Or can I just tie it in one of the hoses? (correct one of course)

Where does the hoses connect to ? You mentioned they went towards the firewall? Might wanna show a pic ,so we have a better understanding where those hoses go to . Otherwise I mean you could always put a T fitting in to that existing hose but if it were me I’d definitely wanna know what that hose attaches to

I have a mm cc - wild and I’m tied to the sc port w/ valley plate capped off and tied to oil filler cap.

On your can like Nodak and I have said, since it is a 2 port, the "in" port will connect to the tube coming out from the front of your valley tray, the the "out" port on your can will, like mine, go to somewhere on your intake manifold. Mine is connected to the back of the manifold for vacuum in one of the 3 holes that were there. So to start, since you don't have the "stock" manifold anymore, you will NOT have the loop tubing shown in the pic. Your valley hose should be one of the 2 hoses you speak about. Get a pic if you can and post it for us to help.

Your can will be routed differently than the mild ls3 setup.

Where do those lines go coming from the manifold? Also, where is the vacuum source going from your CAI?
Your manifold is should have its ports under and towards the rear.
