Mine should be here today along with my other goodies!

I read that there is another bracket to order possibly!
Does it come with everything to install or do I need to order something else?

It comes with everything you need to install. The drivers side mounting bracket is an option for when you have a CAI and are not relocating the WW bottle

As you can see from the pictures above there's plenty of clearance for the catch can on the passenger side using the standard bracket.

Thanks! I can't imagine trying to put it on with the stock airbox. I had to hold the nut with a box wrench while tightening the bolt with a socket. It would have been really tight getting a wrench in there past that rectangular chamber on the stock airbox.

Excellent job all!!! These type of threads help all the members and the more brains involve the better we can make improvements. The goal of producing the best of any product is a never ending attention to what can be done to make something better/easier/etc. and this is a great example.

Lol, yea after dropping the nut a dozen times I ended up unhooking the intake from the throttle body and moving it.

What does the rx catch can do and is it a necessity?

Don't mean to be rude or a jerk, but it's been discussed ad nauseam.

Very helpful stuff guys. The FedEx man just delivered my Catch Can and I'll be installing it today. And yes... the instructions say 2010/2011 V6 Camaro, even though my car is a 2012. I think the pics y'all provided will get me through. Photos to follow.

Since my LFX has about 5,500 miles on it without a catch can, is there any need for cleaning the accumulation of crud that's already in the intake? Or, will it just eventually clean itself?

Okay - that's done. Went with xfighter's install by mounting the can on the evaporative emissions thingy (I think that's the technical term for it

). Pretty easy install. Would have been much easier with CAI installed but it hasn't arrived yet.

The only snag I hit was with the mounting bolt holes on the can. The threaded holes would not accept the small bolts provided with the unit. Fortunately, I have a tap set that I used to match the bolt threads and retap the holes. Worked just fine but added about 20 minutes to the install - total time... a little less than an hour.

I guess the only thing I did differently was to tuck the new hoses under the evap hose. If anyone knows of a reason not to do that... please advise. Thanks for the advice and input y'all.
