The "Catch Can" Explained! - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I bought my 2011 2SS/RS a few months ago with 25K miles on it and no catch can. Everybody I see on here seems to have installed theirs early on in the car's life. Is putting one on now worth it or has the "gunk" already built up?

Seafoam it and then put one on, or just put one on now.

Obviously, the sooner you can get a catch can installed the better. But like litle88 said you can always do an upper induction cleaning and then install one. Even if you didn't do the cleaning you would still stop it it from getting any worse.

It feels good to know that crap isn't gunking up your engine.

It's not as good of a system as the ones that chase mentioned.

I plan on ordering a rx catch can in the near future. For a SS with no engine mods, which version is best? Do I need the check valve or just straight fittings? Also I was going to add the oil filler cap vent so does that change what I need for the catch can or hooking it up? Sorry as I'm sure this has been answered 300 times already but I've read so much of late it's hard to keep it all straight.
