AR Oil Catch Can question...

cuban335i · 03-28-2010, 12:51 PM

Hey guys,
I just installed my AR catch can... I have only one question. The hose that connects to the passenger side port (not sure what it is called) connects to the side of the catch can that has the arrow? and the hose that connects to the driver side port connects to the catch can at the side that doesn't have the arrow?

Did i do that right?

thanks,
Matt

passanger side goes to In on the catch can, driver side (intake side) goes to the out side of CC

I recieved mine - is there a DIY? Couldn't find one on their website

no... i used the riss racing one on rissracing.com... its amazing that AR doesn't have a DIY esp since it costs $230

I couldn't believe how much a pain in the ass the OEM pipe is to getc off! Getting the cover back on is tricky also with all the extra parts back there now.

I found that if you run the pipe under hot water it made it easier to seperate.

Lol I had to use 2 people to yank that stupid pipe off..
