Nice!!!

I might have to look into this. Definately a cheaper alternative yet still looks good.

I just bought one on ebay for $68 + $13 S/H...same exact 9mm tank you have GReddy P/N 12003506....I plan on mounting in the same location as well. Did you use all 7ft of the 3/8" fuel line or did you have some to spare?

I had about a foot left over when it was all said and done.


Thanks for all the compliments guys!

I can't help but think of this - "They 10's, they 10's....... but i keeps 'em clean"

fyi- If you want to save the money on a catch can, just swap the f or y body pcv valve for the 4.8 or 5.3 truck pcv valve.

I did it, it worked perfectly, my oil usage stopped right then and there. Then when the engine was polished I did away with the pcv stuff all together, relocated coils, evap, everthing!

I had a Greddy catch can before the pcv mod and it was ok, but I sold it when I found out that the pcv on the f and y was to blame.

Looks good! I have the Greddy v2 (roundish can) and attached it to the pass head. Fits great plus short hose runs! I paid ~$80...

^^ keeps oil from getting sucked into the intake which these motors seem to love to do...

It sucks oil because of the pcv system. Even if you switch to the LS6 valley pcv system it uses the same "pcv valve" as the LS1 cars.

Change the freaking pcv valve to the truck one, (it has a smaller orifice) and your oil problems are done!

Screw catch cans.

Those are the same thing, and look like they send you a bunch of fittings you can use if you want. They are about 1/2 as much as the actual greddy brand. I would probably buy one of those if i had to do it over again.
I can't seem to find one of those with the 9mm fittings. Do they or anyone else have a replica with the 9mm fittings?

Thumbs up

I got a couple of PMs asking about my setup so here it is:



So far the can is empty and the lines are clean! I also switched to Mobil 1 5w40 which just might have done the trick. Either way I'm not using!!

Those JDM ones look like they come with 4 NPT to barbed fittings. 2 of them are probably 15mm and 2 are probably 9mm. Send them an email and ask about them.

Do a few searches on ebay, bound to turn somthing up. You can always just go to a hardware store and find the fittings youself. Might be brass, but thats nothing a can of spraypaint wont fix! ..... or you could polish the brass and be like bishop don magic-wan (sp?)!!!111one

$4.02 at the Chevy dealer .. Just get a pair of needle nose plyers and pull the old one out of the rubber holder that surrounds it and then push in the new one no big deal..
