Never thought of it that way, but i would have to agree. Mine is on the other far side of the brake booster and works great from what i can tell..

 

Nothing other than having to use zip ties to secure it to something. To me, it's cleaner being mounted up front using an existing bolt beside the alternator.

 

fellas im sorry but im unfamiliar with the interior of these engines and never seen the inside of the ls series engines. whats the catch can doin ? and hows it helpin us ?

 

it keeps from having blow-by oil get past the PCV during WOT & High RPM situations & getting into the intake plenum. Install the catch can between the PCV & plenum & the can catches the oil instead of it being dumped into the plenum. Just basically helps keep the intake runners in plenum & heads from getting dirty.

 

oohhhh ok well damn good idea ut oh cant imagine what my factory 03 looks like at 128,000 miles on it.

 

The inside of your intake is entirely coated wity oily residue. All of your valves are heavily coated with buildup. The crowns of your pistons are covered with carbon

 

ooh well uuhh welll i meant for it to be that way.uummm it helps the air and fuel slide right thru the intake better for better flow. yup thats it thats my story and im stickin to it.

 

I'm not sure what you mean. Mine is bolted directly onto the large stud the booster is bolted to. The stud sticks out significantly past the master cylinder, with plenty of room for the catch can. The stud is the exact same size as the hole in the bracket. All that was required was a nut. No zip ties required. The hoses aren't long enough to need them.

 

Looks good. I wasn't aware that it was mounted on that stud. I figured people were just zip tying it somewhere around there. I may be mounting mine there now. Thanks

 

NICE, i have a vacuum assist thingy right there on my truck...
