Do we contact you via phone to order? Does "clear" just mean that it is bare aluminum in color?

easiest way to order as of right now (until we get our new web page up) is to email me direct and go from there.
The "clear" is basically anodizing without any color pigment added, looks the same as un-coated aluminum.

Todd--I got my catch can the other day (Jason from Lexington), and I must say that this is one quality setup. I HIGHLY suggest this can to anyone looking for one. It looked so good, I hated even getting my dirty hands on it!

for those considering purchasing the AMW catch can, please bare with us while we get more kits in stock. We didn't realize how well they were going to sell and again we would like to thank those who have already purchased the kits. We should be restocked within a week or so.

I just want to Thank Todd for such a quality piece ,and I'm sure glad I waited to get his product for the vette.
I used Dark ages (Al) bracket and it looks like it came with the car.
Thank you for fine products.

some benifits include reduced detonation and a cleaner throttle body/intake due to the removal of contaminates that enter the combustion chamber from the crankcase via the pcv

Hey Todd, I finally got around to installing my AMW catch can today. I mounted it on the inner fender, on the passenger side of the engine bay. Installation went very well, had to drill the holes a bit larger than 1/8 because the sheetmetal there was very thick and the screws wouldn't pull themselves in. No biggie.

The catch-can is an awesome piece, you guys really put alot of time into this design, and the quality shows througout. I'm very happy with it!

Thanks again,
Tony

I want to re-check something. I did get my catch-can couple weeks ago. Agree with everyone, quality, easy install.

Now the question(s) (remember, I have the LS6 intake, with the LS6 PCV by-pass and LS6 valley): top plug on catch-can goes to the PCV value that goes to the tube coming out of the valley cover; and middle plug goes to the intake plug. RIGHT? What would happen if these ever got mixed up?

Thanks -- by the way Todd - thanks for the quick service on getting the catch-can to me.

As far as getting the lines mixed up, the vac. would be running the wrong way through the can, don't think the functionality of the can will work as intended.
Easy way to check if it is hooked up correctly is to pull the hose off the top fitting (with engine running) and check to see if you have vacuum being pulled through the can.
