what type of catch can is that?

GOduc · Nov 13, 2011

had that same setup, but just to let you know it will drain into the filter, you need to have the catchcan before breather. although you will see some accumulation in the catchcan either way, the majority drained into my filter so then i triend a different setup and everythign is good now [up]

looks nice that looks like an fuel filter for a non fuel injected Engine it will work . Might want to put a short piece of hose on the end so you can direct the yuck out of the exhaust area. If you extend the filter back a small amount and turn it up-right OR even at a 45deg. angle it will help for keeping the filter clean as well. IF the Glass Filter housing ever Breaks try and use one of Those Clear Small(harbor freight) Plastic AIR Compressor filters it will bolt right in possibly with the same 1/4 in. fittings. Still looks nice and clean.Good picts., too!*Jimi[up]

i have the race kit ecm and exhaust should i do this mod wil it do anything for me

If you have lower RPM coughing and stuttering, it may - for most it does. It simply reroutes the blow-by gases from exiting into your airbox (intake) to a location of your choosing. That way you know for sure the intake is sucking clean air. Only reason it's on there is because it's an EPA engine mandate.

So it can't hurt anything and only carries the very good chance of helping. (Some do it to keep their inner airbox from getting oil misted all in it. But if you have that problem, it's a sign your engine needs attention, not a reason to do a reroute.)

Either way, it is by no means a performance mod if that's what you were looking for, simply undoes the EPA setup.

where do i get the red cone shaped filter and can i go with a bigger size does it matter

kab · Jan 20, 2012

You can get the filter at an auto parts store. Just look for a breather filter. I went with the stainless steel mesh breather filter.

Excessive oil in the air filter means rings or valves, usually,(Disclaimer)

Txgold....... Be careful with that DZb screen. If left in direct sunlight they have been know to act like a magnifying glass and melt instrument clusters. I had one and it started to melt mine when I caught it....... Soon after the DB was history.

oh9bolt · Jan 21, 2012

At least when you have your headlights on at night they will look like this...

TXgold · Jan 22, 2012
