Isn't this not the right way to do this? Shouldn't it be breathers or catch cans not both? I think this is the UN metered air situation some one correct me if i am wrong?


Catch can and breather are essentialy the same thing, both open, the breather will vent and just drip oil where as the catchcan will vent and collect the oil. You just want the system all open or all closed(oil seperator).

So I guess the line was clogged, started it real quick and shut it off. Oil shot all over so that is good. Also 90% of the leaks are fixed and I stopped by the dyno today, he said theres only 3 cars hes gotta tune next week and I should be able to take it up hopefully. Going to be hard though with school and work through the week.

Were the leaks from material fitment issues or more from install tweaking that was needed?

I'm going to blame it on us for now. I'm thinking we need to get back under there and take a few clamps off and pull a couple of pipes together. Also I was dumb and tightned up the header bolts last. So I want to loosen some stuff up and see if that makes a difference which I think it would. Now its pulling on all the piping together instead of just the one pipe. With the flex pipes though I'm hoping it will take care if there is any fitment issues with the quality of the kit. If its done friday it will be on the dyno tuesday morning.

The breather and catch can are fine, lots of people I've seen and heard run them like that. After this year it will be replaced with with breathers on catch cans.

Thanks..yeah I'd do it all over again. I would def wrap the piping before I put it in that I wish I did different. Once I see how it performs and get miles on it will be my real verdict. It will have 30 miles on it from the tuner so by the time I show everyone and get back home I'll have over 200 haha.

Does anyone have a way to get a good seal on the manifold to exhaust piping. I got the driver side good and sealed with a gasket and all but it didn't work so well for the passenger side. Also were going to go back and slide gaskets in all the clamps so I know for sure I won't have any leaks. Also I suggest replacing the power steering line hose with a braided one, I did and it's 10x better. The other one collapsed and it started melting.

Looks like they supplied a heater hose, ps fluid will eat through it. You could have also swapped it out for transmission hose, it wont eat through that rubber.

Is the piping bent or mishaped in anyway? May need a little heat and bending on the socket to get it to seal good.

Well oringinally your suppose to use the stocker. I didn't like te sharp bend you had to put in it though. The piping is all fine it's just hard to get it to stay close to te header.
