Just finished my Elite Engineering Catch Can. Digging it!!

Now just don't forget to empty it

I'd lose the engine cover though.

I'm thinking of picking one up. How easy is the install? I hear its about the same as a cold air intake in regard to difficulty.

Very easy... Pop off the engine cover, cut a couple hose and clamp on the new ones, bolt the can to the engine cover bolt (the one the the cover clips onto)

Cool. So it comes with some really easy instructions?

I'm pretty sure it came with instructions but I did not look at them lol

you take off the oil cap to remove the engine cover, put the cap back on

follow the hose that goes from the top of the intake and basically cut the middle section out. I actually did not reuse the piece that goes to the valve cover because the hose fits snug anyways but it would probably be better to reuse both connectors

you just leave a few inches for hose to go over the connectors and hook them up accordingly. attaches the bracket is really simple

you'll just need some pliers for the hose clamps, hose cutters, allens/hex socket for two of the screws to mount the can to the bracket unless you choose to use your own screws, and then a couple wrenches or 10 mm sockets
at least I think they were 10mm
also get some teflon and something to tighten up fittings where the hoses go on the can

Thanks man I'll have to look at it tomorrow but I'm sure I can do it. If not there's enough ppl here running the elite can to get some help.
