    I did this, bought the can from American Muscle, a little pricey, and used what was there to install it, the 90 and the other line have been incorporated into my finished product. Looks great, works great.
    I did cut the engine cover then used files to get it where I wanted it. There are zero leaks, no smell and it works as advertised. Looks factory

    Awesome that you installed a catch can It’s really a good move to protect your engine.Seeing oil and sludge means it’s doing its jobIn your SRT8 the thinner oil is a good sign, showing less gunk in the engine.Make sure to check and empty the catch can regularly.A clean engine means longer lifeYou might also consider using better oil to reduce future buildup.

    I make it a point to empty mine on my Turbo GTDI engines every thousand miles.
