Default PVC catch can for emmissions Z28?

I have been trying to find a PVC catch can that will work on my 2000 Camaro Z28 with the emissions equipment on and I can't find any pictures of anyone's set up,..seems everyone mounts there catch can to the "passenger side head", but on a emissions vehicle, there is a hot exahaust return tube pump/valve that is mounted in that spot with the tube going into the top of the manafold... I would like to know what brand catch can is designed for my application..
Thanks
Ruben

Please search. Catch cans have been discussed a million times. Some are a long read but I guarantee your question has already been answered many times over.

You can mount a can anyplace you have space. You just need to run longer hoses to reach it. If you wanted you could even put it in the back of a pickup and just follow the truck around. You'll need to use extra long hoses and make sure nobody tries to cut in between you and the truck or they'll get tangled.

I would call an inspection station and find out if catch cans are even legal here in Cali.

For sure on a non-emission vehicle. Long tube headers are also sold here, for non-emission vehicles. It's up to the user to research if something is legal on their particular vehicle. Just because it's sold here, does not mean it's legal on every vehicle.

Did you check with Mighty Mouse Solutions? If he doesn't already have a mounting bracket for you, he could probably design/make one.
