Not that its an excuse or anything but I feel like the people standing right next to the track deserve a hurferydurferydoo as well - lets stand right next to a track that has no discernible protection barrier other than a chain link fence where ridiculously overpowered cars will be driven by amateurs...

Srs DIY weekend!

JLT oil separator Friday night and washed/clayed/waxed the car

Installed the Redline Goods leather shift boot and e-brake boot in the 5.0 on Saturday.

And DIY'd Steve's old 5.0 Ford Racing axle-back exhaust and X-pipe. Slight exhaust leak in the x-pipe connectors, but gonna get those welded up tight this week hopefully

Nice Jay, Redline makes excellent products. Turned out great.
I have been thinking about installing a catch can too, Moroso makes a nice one for the ZL1. My concern is giving the dealer, GM rep, etc any reason to deny a warranty claim.

I think a catch can(s) are the most overlooked but important mod. Just my opinion ... but it keeps alot of nasty stuff out of there.

As far as warranty you are only messing with the vacuum lines ... but hard to tell with dealerships ... not many of them seem to dig anything aftermarket.

Yeah I definitely recognize the benefit of the catch can but I can see them possibly using that as an excuse. You would think manufacturers would see the benefit of the catch can to protect the engine and start including them as a standard part.

You can always ask the dealership before you do anything. Try finding one that doesn't mind minor mods and they should be good to deal with. The guy at Sheehy Nissan in Glen Burnie told me they were cool with bolt-on mods as long as the aftermarket part wasn't directly causing a problem.

Honestly man it's such an easy install I say just go for it. If you do happen to need service on the ZL1, it's an easy part to disconnect and throw the stock PCV line on (at least for the 5.0 it is). I know for the coyote motor the passenger side one is the biggie.

Still surprised they don't put one on force-fed motors from the factory like yours. Especially cranking out that kind of power stock!
