catch can

On my Malibu I installed a two-can catch can system. I purchased the Mishimoto 2 can system for a Camaro with the LTG but had to customize it to make it work in the Malibu engine bay.

First, I purchased some different cans from Amazon. The cans that come with the Mishi system are not anything I would use, and there are three reasons I chose not to use their cans. 1) They are small volume. 2) the fittings screw directly into a cylindrical surface, so the fittings are angled away from each other which requires more space between the cans and could cause difficulties with hose positioning/location. 3) The Mishi cans do not have dipsticks. I don't want to have to unscrew the entire can to see how much oil is in them. I want a dipstick that I can check the quantity of oil.

Second, I had to design and fabricate a bracket to mount the cans. It took me 4 prototypes before I landed upon the final design that I was happy with.

Third, as the kit was designed for a Camaro, and the position of everything was designed for the Camaro engine bay. So I had to do a lot of customizing the hoses to get positioning and fitment correct.

And now, pictures:
