That one features 2 inlets. Sounds good instead of using the tee I think on the clean side.
Yep, and I bought mine from Amazon too!

Well, new HX is on the way! I should be able to install it next weekend...

Thanks to wrtowman!

I also purchase a 'clear' protector for the front -- lots of rock chips this last trip so I'll need to add that now to protect the front more...

Catch can (compact) will be here today -- will be doing that today if it get's here early...

Mishimoto Compact Catch Can Inatall

Here is the Compact can -- 3.75 inches tall, 2.5 inches wide -- perfect size for a clean side catch can:





Setup was very easy. I attached this unit to the ADM CAI right above the intercooler pump -- had plenty of room to rotate and install.

ADM CAI drilled for self taping screws:





Bracket installed:



Catch can installed:



I used Teflon 'paste' on the fittings, but, after trying to find the right 'vacuum' hose, I replace those with 3/8 brass fittings from AutoZone (and used Teflon paste):



Hoses installed:







I used 3/8 Fuel Injection hose and vacuum grease just to be sure no 'hissing' noises or leaks occur. Started it up and no issues! Will drive it tomorrow, but its exactly what I was looking for in order to 'feed' the clean side (driver's and passengers' valve cover vents). This and the might-mouse catch can, I now have a 'complete' system...

I have the '2 port' version with no drain line (didn't need it for this setup as I have the ZL1 valve cover port tubing that routes driver's side and passenger's side vents):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

3 port here:

VERY nice for the price!

Looks good. I ordered my 3 port mishimoto yesterday. Should have it Monday. I'm planning on not bothering with a Tee as Ill just run both valve cover ports right to the can then to the intake.i may mount the can to the CAI like you did but I have a little more room there as Im mounting my intercooler pump lower by the hx inlet.

I have the ZL1 brake ducts, so intercooler mounting options were limited for me. The 3 port is perfect if you don't have the ZL1 vent lines like I do.

This compact catch can is a great setup. You'll see when your's comes in.

On the holes I drilled, I took the mounting bracket, turned it upside down and marked the holes to drill on the inside of the CAI (of course, removed the filter and blocked the opening). Made it much easier to get the bolt locations drilled...

Took it out for a drive -- working as expected -- really like the size and style -- perfect for the clean side. Overall impressions are this is an excellent product. I liked the Elite 'Oil Cap' version, but it didn't hook up to my ZL1 vent lines so this is the perfect alternative to the 1LE/Elite oil filler cap version...

Great product...

-Don

So, I took the car out again tonight with the wifey -- she noticed right off the bat 2 things:

1) The idle is MUCH smoother, less 'boob' bouncing at a stop light ;o)
2) The 'odor' that the car would leak in the cab sometimes was totally gone running the 'recirculating air' selection on the ac.

So, using the might-mouse or metco oil cap 'vent' was causing those two problems (not to mention some of the 'oil' that would seep out). When the wife is happy -- happy life ;o)...

So, Loving the Mishimoto compact catch can!

I just got the 3 port Mishimoto can and it looks pretty nice. It will go along well with my other Mishimoto 2 port can that I have on the valley cover
