Nicely done. I am happy to report that the catch can has reduced the soot on the tips tremendously. Since I installed this can, I have cleaned the tips once. Cleaning the tips used to be every weekend after a few drives.

Steve,
My setup is very similar to yours using the booster studs. I strived for a clean approach keeping line lengths short using stainless tubing and printed pipes for the bends. The tubing brackets have a bushing in the them so that I can torque the plenum without crushing the plastic brackets. Here are a few pics.

It definitely works - there are usually a couple of tablespoons of oil in there when I empty it.

Nice install BlackZR1! I just ordered my catch can yesterday and was planning on making custom hard lines (albeit routed differently) like you've done. I'm looking forward to seeing if it makes a good difference.

Figured I would do a follow up on finally emptying my catch can after getting some interesting readings on the little dipstick. Oil level was over two inches deep. No wonder the exhaust tips stay clean now. No more big puffs of blue smoke when an aggressive downshift occurs. Both PVC valves rattle freely when you shake them. So far, the catch can has done its job perfectly and I will keep it in place.

BlackZR1,

Is that a custom setup or where can you get it?

Hey Dom,
Yes, a custom setup I fine-tuned over the course of a couple weeks. I am happy to share my gcode for the printed parts and a picture of my cardboard template for the bracket if you or anyone else is interested.

Thanks,
Roger

Excellent work Roger. Don?t have knowledge of 3D printing nor a machine but I appreciate the offer. I think its a very clean install. If u decide to do a few more, please put me down for one,
