Nothing speaks louder than seeing for yourself. Glad I put this on when my ZL is still under 2000 miles.

Just installed my can last week. This is after 100 miles of "combined" driving.

Thanks Apex!

Just installed mine today 20 miles on the clock, just drove the car home from the dealer and put the catch can on.

That is a pretty good catch for only 100 miles. Because of the size of our filtration chamber and how much filtration media is in there it actually holds onto a lot of fluid before it actually starts to descend into the collection cup. There is probably close to as much still in the upper part of the can as there was in the cup.

That is the way to do it. Protected from Day 1. Congrats on the new ride and thanks to you both for your orders.

That covers everything you need to install the catch can and braided lines.

Yes, there are a couple places you can purchase the tape you are looking for. Google is your friend hehe.

You can also probably use the paste and wipe away the excess?

Yes, you can get black 3M thread tape. After the install you can use a razor blade to trim the tape back for a cleaners look.

Chase,

Received my catch can in the mail. All I can say is wow! Superb attention to detail with the form factor and excellent condensing material. High grade tubing and fittings as well as spot on instructions on your site. Well worth the wait, in my opinion it is by far the best catch can on the market and a must buy item. Quality is hard to come by and you sir nailed it! Thank you and it is a welcome addition to my 2014 ZL1. Bravo Zulu.
