I was talking to David at MightyMouse Solutions one day and he convinced me to sell my Norris Motorsports catch can and then install one of his new "Black" Series Catch Cans. My Norris catch can sold in a day or two, so it was a done deal. I ordered the PCV can with the barbed fittings since I am running rubber hose. There are options for AN fittings as well. It came with good instructions on how to hook it up. I opted to keep the same line routing that I had before, and just had to run a longer hose since the fittings were in a different position.

I have the following connections to the engine:
-Passenger valve cover rear to can inlet
-Can outlet to side of LS6 intake
-TB to driver valve cover

I also opted for the 'LS head mount' he offers since I still have A/C, stock coolant overflow tank, and the battery in the stock location. There didn't seem to be a good place to mount the can with a basically stock engine setup. The can is of nice quality and David was very helpful through the process.

Anyways here are some pictures....






I'd recommend one of these to anyone in the market for a catch can. David offers a lot of options, so check his site or send him an email.

Nice dude!! I got mine a few weeks ago!

The black can matches everything under my hood, I'm going for the stealth non flash look!

For us turbo guys its easy to hook up now, my driver side valve cover to can Inlet, pcv outlet from can to intake, then ls6 valley cover to turbo filter inlet, Cap the passenger side valve cover 3/8 barbs! Done!

That's what I was going for too.

I drove the car a good bit over the past few days. Everything seems to be doing well. I'll check it again in a few weeks to see how much (if any) oil is in there.

I just got one too. I've been doing a lot of work to the car lately, so the can installation will have to wait its turn.

Bump it up. New pictures added.

Okay, feel free to flame away, but can you guys explain to me the benefit of running a catch can? I see mostly FI guys running them, but I assume there is a benefit to running one on a NA motor too?

I should know by now but I dont . How would this hook up on a FMIC Procharged setup with the ls6 valley cover on an fbody car?

In general, catch cans are used to catch oil/water/fuel that would otherwise be ingested by the engine during OEM PCV cycle. For FI or other higher performance applications, catch cans become more important since the crankcase airflow increases with increased in HP, and with it more oil/water/fuel.

Depending on what can you get, it can be very simple. It appears the race can just takes two dirty inlets from a valve cover/valley cover. The draft/pcv can takes one dirty inlet, and a clean outlet to the air filter of the procharger.

His website has a detailed instruction sheet you should check out. I just have a N/A PCV setup.

It can help a great deal with an N/A motor by trapping crankcase vapors that made up of piston ring blow by and oil windage, the stuff you don't want in your intake system because it can rob power by contaminating your intake charge, cause detonation and forms deposits on the back of your valves and the top of your pistons.

Someone please explain THAT catch can with the breather on top, doesn't this create an unmetered air leak?

The breather is a giant one way valve for crank pressure to leave only, and seal otherwise for normal closed loop operation

Was about to ask the same thing about the open element. So during operation is it closed? And is their a PCV still inline in case of a backfire? Looks nice BTW. I would have used pushloc fittings instead of hose clamps.

Yes, the PCV valve is shown in this picture....threaded into the silver extension housing

Did that PCV valve come with the MM can setup? Is it marked for direction?
The breather vents to the atmosphere only when there's enough pressure built up to open a valve inside?

Did that PCV valve come with the MM can setup? yes Is it marked for direction? comes with directions explaining how to hook the can up
The breather vents to the atmosphere only when there's enough pressure built up to open a valve inside? I believe so, yes

I am just going to run 2 lines to vented catch can whoooo.

You already have yours? Which one do you have, or are going with?

OP, what made you pick this MM catch can over the other two MM options? I'm on his website now, but kind of confused as to which of the three options would be best.

Since I have the billet valve covers they have -10 an fittings in them and run to a aerospace componets billet catch can, mine is more race oriented. See street duty the mighty mouse can is the way to go and the black can looks great!

Seems there are two versions he has; the one the OP got, and then the middle choice. The first one is a race oriented catch can. Not sure the difference between the two.
