I like mine hidden!!! I have the husky one. I unhooked the line from the TB hooked rubber hose on to the valve cover hose and ran it under the TB then behind the power steering pump and down to where the air pump was connecting to the catch can. Then i hooked hose up to the other side of the catch can and ran the hose in front of the radiator then beside the battery and radiator to the intake. You Cant see it at all.

This is a old pick it looks alot better under the hood now. See can see it.

Look at the pic I attached to my earlier post...you can see the PCV valve, can, and both hoses. I converted to the LS6 style PCV setup where it draws pressure from the valley pan. From the outlet of valley pan, it connects to the PCV valve...from there, to the top of the can...out of the side of the can to the inlet on the neck of the intake.

Edit: Here is a link to the best "how-to" I've seen on the LS1 to LS6 PCV conversion: http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=18

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but the LS1 PCV setup pulls pressure from the valve covers, not the valley pan. So in the picture in your first post, you would come out of the PCV valve with a hose to the top of the can, then out of the side of the can to the neck of the intake.

these cars blow oil from the valve cover into the intake causing your car to loose performance and smoke. The catch can simply catches the oil

I like my closed PCV system, 1 breather on the driver valvecover, the big one on the passenger side and closed off PCV. I love it.

You mean you got 2 breathers, one on eatch cover? right?

That's how my current settup is, but i have had the car for 2 months and have already experienced moisture on the inside of the breater. So i will convert back to pcv and with the catch can.

I will mount my catch can on the passengerside cylinder head. draw the pcv from its original posisition to the can. and from my driverside valve cover i will pull a hose to the can for the ventilation. But I will keep the breather on the passengerside as a fresh air resorse.

Hope that helps! I can post pictures when i get started to night or to morrow.
