You have an existing PCV line running from the back drivers side of the engine up over the intake manifold and into a connection on the passenger side just behind the throttle body. That line needs to run into the inlet (top of the catch can). The inlet on the supercharger is located on the right side of the supercharger body. It is the right most brass connection in a group of three connections. This is routed to one of the side outlets of the catch can.

The bracket it the same regardless of LS3, L99, or LSA.

Ordered one on 12/31 and haven't heard anything yet.

Thx

We are in the process of wrapping up a production run that has been cursed by an anodizing company that can't get their act together. You should have emails from Victoria with you order information and updates. These could be in your spam folder. If not or if you have any questions just give us a call.

We are really excited to be a part of the build. I love what you guys did with the bracket. It looks really cool.

So how long did most wait to actually get the Apex can shipped? I ordered back in Dec. and have heard nothing. Sent email, and told they had issues with part of the manufacturing process and they would get back soon...still nothing. Are there other alternative brands that can be used that are actually available now?
I am sure Apex is great brand and good sponsor, but leaving a already paid customer hanging is frustrating.

Thx

Are the fittings AN or pipe thread cause I see some with Teflon tape an others without??

We include plugs for the unused outlet(s).

We have sent out a few emails to customers waiting on this production run. If you have any questions we can always be reached here on C5 or at 502-930-APEX. As you mentioned, we have had trouble with the anodizing which has extended the delivery of the can far beyond what we ever expected. I totally understand the frustration with waiting for a part, I am still waiting on parts I order on Black Friday for my car. If you want to change your order we do have have other brands we can ship to you immediately.

The end of the fitting going into the can is NPT and we recommend using thread tape on that end. The other end is AN which comes standard with a push lock fitting adapter for use with rubber lines or you can upgrade to our braided lines with AN fittings that simply screw on.

Just finally received my Apex catch can (nice quality can), but only one hose. looking at the instructions for the L99 set-up, states cut hose to 44.5 and 15.5 inches (guessing this is long run from drivers side) but hose with kit is only 32". Are there supposed to be 2 hoses or am I missing something?

Thx

Sounds like you got a hose for a LS3. PM sent about getting another sent your way.

I had checked it about a week after installation and the can looked as clean as the day I bought it, so I began to wonder if had purchased something I didn't really need. The pic below makes me believe I made a good decision. Just thought I would share.

It feels good to know that that mess is not making it into your intake manifold and down to your intake valves, doesn't it? Glad you guys are happy with your Apex catch cans.

Oh yea. Still working great! Thanks again!!

Emptied it again tonight. Still working like a champ!!

Emptied about 5,000 miles ago.





Here's a question, how often should you clean the media? And how? Just soap and water?

Man I'm glad I finally picked one up and installed it yesterday!
