Default Question about catch can

Alright guys so I was attempting to install my catch can and I can't rout the dirty side because of the stupid plastic pcv line won't bend at the right angle towards the can(I have the ls1 valley cover) so aside from completely removing it and replacing it with fuel lines, is there any way I could maybe cut the line maybe half way up the line? I tried to mount a hose to the end of the line and bending it,but the angle is just too sharp so the hose pinches shut.

Have you tried taking a heat gun or lighter and heat up the plastic line and carefully bend it?

So your tryin to install a can with the stock PCV hose assembly? Screw that man, just go buy some zip ties & 3/8" hose from the parts house & run fresh hose to the can. That new hose is so cheap its not worth fighting the stock assembly.
