Elite Engineering E2-X PCV Oil Catch Can and Hardware for Ultra GM V8 LS - CAN ONLY

I was worried there would be lots of noise but no, I can't hear any additional noise since installation. Also, I just drained it for the first time after 6K miles and I got 300ml of burnt oil. Very happy with my Elite Engineering E2-x catch can

There are videos online of installing this type of can on camaro's and corvettes or newer silverado's (14+). This is for mine. I cut the plastic tubes that slide onto the stock system on the intake and air intake tube for the clean side. Likely an easier option but I'm lazy and I had snips. Lots of hose clamps too if you're going to DIY this with some other brand catch can (I did).2009 silverado 4.8 LSI bought the Clean Side separately but it's basically that kit they sell. the can and the clean side.You will TIE the two sides together, the DIRTY AND CLEAN with a hose. Either a 3/8 from barb to barb or some sort of adapter (I used 3/8-5/8 ICT adapters for kicks...) using fuel line or silicone that is made for fuel and/or oil (fuel and oil can be caustic). You will use a T fitting (I used Stainless Steel) and put it in between the two clean/dirty side hose. Then feed that to the CENTER/MIDDLE of the can ports and clamp. You're done with the clean and dirty side.You will feed one of the sides (doesn't seem to matter what side you pick. so whatever is easiest to route) to the top of the intake that is from the stock PCV system. Clamp it tight. You will need CHECK VALVES (in whatever ID you choose. I got 1/2 as I can MAKE them fit 3/8 or 5/8....) AFTER the ELITE CAN/BEFORE THE INTAKE. this plastic hose is 3/8 ID (INSIDE DIAMETER). You are now done with DIRTY CLEAN SIDE ROUTING.I am assuming you have the CLEAN SIDE SEPARATOR to go along with this. if not, then just cap one side with the supplied cap and clamp it down so it doesn't go anywhere. This is 1/2 ID for the barbs on this can.The CSS will replace your OIL CAP and draw air from the top of the oil fill port rather than down on the valve cover/s. Snip the plastic hose going to the air intake tube and clamp using 3/8 ID hose. I used the plastic hose to help tie in the dirty and clean side as they rotate on the connection itself. Made it easier but long term, I will remove. I do not trust plastic like GM does...This CSS simply takes the place of your hose on the clean side and moves it to the oil fill tube/port.I added another brands CATCH CAN as a first stage for this catch can itself. This is not necessary but I seen a video that showed promise and I wanted to try it. This catch can is simply in between the clean/dirty side T and the three port elite can.GOES: DIRTY/CLEAN SIDE HOSE -> T -> SIMPLE CATCH CAN -> DIRTY/INPUT/MIDDLE PORT ON ELITE-> CHECK VALVE ->STOCK PCV PORT ON TOP OF INTAKE OF ENGINEI am still trying to figure out how I want to go about getting the other side of this can connected to the intake. The instructions state that you are going to get that vacuum from before the Throttle body. That requires drilling into the tube itself. This also requires a TAP to make threads that this thing comes with to allow the plastic barb to be screwed into it. I don't like this idea. I am going to get some 90* NPT-BARB and use some metal nuts to secure it to the walls of the air intake rather than utilizing the threads. One nut would be on the outside getting tighten down on the air tube wall and the other will be used on the inside to tighten back to secure it from moving. I haven't gotten all the parts yet but I will update if this works like I want it too. The 90* fitting is also stainless steel but, I like the way stainless looks. Brass and aluminum look good in the engine bay too. Machined metal always looks good ;) I will add a picture or two after it's all done if I remember to update this lol.
