[hazer396]

can someone tell me where to find the PCV Valve to install my catch can too?

One side is drivers side back of valve cover. Other is behind the TB on intake. Follow teh tube that is connected to the rear of valve cover around.

I check the site it looks like most products if not all are for the GT and GXP.

Here's how the PCV system works on the V6 engine.
Flow direction is shown with Arrows.
Green is Fresh air Supply.
Red is Stale Oily air.

Fresh filtered Air comes from the Air Intake Pipe, thru the small FRESH AIR TUBE on the left hand side of the car.
The FRESH AIR TUBE (shown in green) delivers the fresh air into the Rear of the Left Cam Cover.
You do not touch or modify the FRESH AIR TUBE or touch the left rear cam cover fitting in order to fit a catch can to the V6.

Stale Oily Air comes out of the Fixed 3mm Orifice at the Rear of the Right Cam Cover.

The Stale Oily Air then enters (vertical red arrow) an arrangement of tubes which eventually branch out in a Y shape.

The Y shape hose ends connect to the nipples on each side of the intake manifold.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATCH CAN ON A V6

a) Mount the Catch Can wherever it was designed to be bolted to the car

b) Disconnect the PCV hose assembly inlet from the PCV Orifice Fitting (at the rear of the Right Cam Cover).

c) Run a new hose from the Rear Right Cam Cover PCV Orifice Fitting to the INLET of the catch can. [Shown as Hose 1 in purple below]

d) Run another new hose [Shown as Hose 2 in orange below] from the OUTLET of the Catch Can to the original PCV hose assembly inlet .

What do you do with the end of the right pcv hose that was connected originally?

[Crazy Paul]

What do you do with the end of the right pcv hose that was connected originally?

See the revised drawing below.
When totally stock 5 fits directly onto 4.
ALL you disconnect is the stock Y hose at position 5 from the PCV orifice at position 4.

You then run New Hose 1 from 4 to the new catch can.
From the new catch can you run New Hose 2 to position 5.....entry point into the stock Y hose.

He IS the man!

{random explanation}On the V8's, you're also intercepting only the foul air line and don't touch the clean for a catch can installation. The catch can basically acts like an inline filter on the foul air line to clean it up before it gets back to the intake.{/random explanation}

The RX can will work on the 6, as well as color matched to the car.
