Hope you get your ride back on time. Post up when she's done.

I will, but I guess you should know that the tubing you provide is fine for a stock car, but not the right length for a car with a Maggie. The shop had to special order another piece of tubing to make it work. So, I have to wait an extra couple of days to get my car back. I'm hoping to get it today.

I know you can't anticipate every possible option when you package your catch cans, but I'm posting this info for those who may have blowers and want to use your catch can.

Thanks for the information. It should be a standard 3/8" SAE30R7 available at any auto parts store.

How did the install go? Any problems?

TBone · 11-13-2010, 07:08 PM

I installed mine today. I got the blue one and it looks great.

Thanks,

installed a Maggie and moved mine to the driver side

*mlee* · 11-13-2010, 07:15 PM

Be sure and put some blue loc tight on the 2 allen head screws that hold the can to the bracket. They tend to back out... I lost one... but picked up an exact replacement at Home Depot.

GJG · 11-13-2010, 07:20 PM

will do....thanks!!!

JHL88 · 11-14-2010, 08:46 AM

That looks really good!!! How did you mount it on the driver side? I would like to do mine the same way.

GJG · 11-14-2010, 10:57 AM

thanks!

i fabricated some 1/8" aluminum angle for a mounting bracket and used the original air box stud to mount it between the fender and CAI box.

fyi....when you bolt the can to the angle use 3 or 4 stainless washers on each bolt as standoffs between the can and the angle.
