    How did you mount this? And you mentioned making sure it was sealed. It doesn't look like this one would have the same seal issues as the DIY kit so could you elaborate on that?

I am using a hose clamp on the hose at the valve, and have it pushed onto a 3/8s barb at the can. I tried locating a leak, but the sound kindof eminates from the whole hose itself.

    Is this "sound" normal? It didn't throw any CELs or anything...

    And to be clear... the air flow is from the back of the block to the front... from the rear of the intake manifold to the barb underneath the throttle body... correct?

    K thanks...

    And FYI - I ran the hose over the back of the engine, and secured the catch can to the plastic pice that secures the metal brake lines to the side of the engine bay.

    I'll continue to monitor this but it's snug, not over-tight, and it doesn't clutter up the bay!
