Ok i just got this thing and im trying to find a good location for this thing. Does anyone have pics of their oilcatch can in a location other than off the passenger side head or next to the battery? As you can see in my pic, my car still has EGR/AIR hooked up (even with LTH lol) obviously a 98 hence no Traction control lines all over the place. Ideas please. Id rather not get another can but if i have too...

See if you have room below the passenger side headlight, or possibly the drivers side headlight. I know Camaro's have room down there, that's where I mounted mine.

Well since im doing a LS6 intake now, guess I just opened up a spot where the EGR is about to not be

if it were still light outside i would go take a pic , but i was going to put mine by the passanger side headlight , in the little groove thier and run the lines into it...but i settled on putting on on the passanger side head , way easier to deal with if you dont have egr imo

I know a few guys that took out their wiper fluid reservoir in the front clip and installed it right in there!

I would lose the EGR crap, sell that toaster of a catchcan and get a mike norris catchcan.
I mounted mine on the headplate and will be adding a chrome Z28 plate soon.

lol ill look into the other catch cans, but for how, this one will do. I didnt think it was that big. ITs just square, so it looks bigger than most i guess.

mine is mounted under the passenger headlight. Haven't checked it since it was installed (1 year) since its going to be a PITA to get to it. in the future i will relocate it so somewhere easier to access.

I used a hole saw under the car so I can drain it without even opening the hood.

welp, after it sitting around my garage for some time... ok along time lol
while fixing my running issue, i decided to install my catch can. wound up puting it where my EGR use to be. since i installed LS6 intake, i already had the room, might as well lol.
just wanted to makes sure i have my lines on correct?


this look right?

what?

the PCV valve is for my turbo setup later. i just figure put it in while im in there.

but other then that, it looks correct right? later im gonna put some steel wool inside the can to add to the oil catching process, but the down and up should assit in the oil catching process for now.
but this is how the LS6 valley pan with catch can should look like right? the PCV is for the turbo install later. its for a actuall turbo trans am so should come in handy later for stopping crank boosting.

Looks correct, but leave the steel wool out of the catch-can!
If you're going to put something in it use something that won't break off into small pieces that can end up going through your engine.

the PCV will stop that, but i guess somthing a bit more solid would be more advisable. what would be a good media then for catching oil mist?

the media in my can is metal shavings about 1/8 inch big

Some type of Aluminum or Stainless Steel mesh/screen would probably work good.
