Catch Can Install Location? Where did you install yours?

TDS · 02-27-2018, 08:01 PM

Trying figure out where to install my new catch can. Any pictures of your install would be great.

RandRZL1 · 02-27-2018, 09:00 PM

I am curious what kind did you buy? I have only seen a couple for sale for 17-18 ZL1’s, but I have yet to see any installed. Thanks.

After a lot of reading I went with Elite Engineering's EX-2. I had there basic one on my vette and it was good quality, this on is really nice in person.

In the drop down menu click on EX-2 Catch Can Dual Port 2017+ Camaro LT4 Zl1

I thought I had seen installation instructions on Elite’s site for the Lt4. I cant find it now though. It seemed really involved I thought, effective but not easy. Please post pictures when you are done! Thanks.

Just received my E2X in the mail tonight. It seems to have quite nice build quality for the price. Didnt get any install instructions with it for my 2017 zl1 though. Kinda need those...

Ether did I. Should be the same as the ZO6, Only difference is where to install the can. It would be nice if they had a video or instructions with photos like other cars. (only complaint I have so far ) Looks like the kit has everything else we need, but wont know till install

Will do. FYI, All the brands require you to lift up the SC to get to the PCV Valve

The E2-X Catch Can should mount using our Aluminum C-Clamp, and Long or Medium "L" bracket like below:

That is not an LT4. This is a pic of my engine bay. It will not install were you show in the picture because of the SC.

You ain't lying!!! Great product in the box but does not do any good there. Trying to figure out how it is a ZL1 kit but they do not know how it installs. If you click 2017+ Camaro ZL1 LT4 in there drop down menu wouldn't you think it should come with what you need to install it on a 2017 ZL1

I just read over the Z06 install for the Elite can. Those are the most involved catch can instructions I've ever seen.

I had catch cans on my previous two Camaros but I'm not going through all that just to put one on my ZL1. I'm also not going to let a modified PVC system give GM an excuse to void my powertrain warranty.

All I can say is good luck with the install. I'll be interested to hear how it goes.

I've got a Mighty Mouse and I didn't do the install but this is where mine was placed -just to the right of the lid. Hope that helps.
