Catch can options - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mike's 2ss · 09-17-2016, 10:45 AM

I've been reading about "catch can's" and have decided to get one for my LS3. I'm wondering what options of can's are available and if I should just get one off ebay. Also, wondering what's the best routing for them on these engines?
2013 s22 6.2L manual.

Thanks in advance

How complicated is installing a catch can ? I don't know much about engines, Should I take it to a shop and have install it ?

The instructions that come with the Elite Catch can are pretty detailed and the install is easy.

Elite dont bother with those cheap cans they sell on ebay. its easiest to remove your throttle body. the 1 hose you have to remove is under there. thats only 4 10mm bolts torqued to 11ftlbs (132inlbs). its so easy even a mustang owner could do it.

Elite. Accept no other.

I bought a moroso because I've had good luck with them in the past. If you go that route I would invest in some better fittings and line than the cheap stuff that comes with the kit. Other than that no complaints! Pulled my intake manifold the other day after a year of running the catch can and found no oil residue.

+3 on the Moroso. I have this one in my LS3 2011 Camaro, 2014 Impala and 2007 Yukon, and each one has been trouble free and effective. Easy install, check YouTube for installation examples, I found a couple that were very helpful.

I have Mighty Mouse PCV and Mishimoto Compact for the 'clean' side on mine:

Go with the standard Elite can unless you have supercharge or turbos the standard elite can is all you need. Should only take 10-15 min install if you know your way around your motor. I have had my elite can on my car for about 8 months now. Looks great and really does its job.

hesster · 09-18-2016, 08:51 AM

Elite - they work great. Can't imagine why anyone would want the contamination of oil laden air sucked back into their motor with the stock PVC system. Of course, unless you are concerned with voiding warranty.

Roasstum1 · 09-18-2016, 12:53 PM

Wait!! Will catch can void warranty?? I thought the gen. Six comes with them?

JCunningham · 09-18-2016, 01:01 PM

only if you get a dirt bag dealer and you dont fight it. By law it cant. but you will need lawyers.

Didn't the 1le's come with one in the trunk ready to install yourself?
