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.

Where is this dealership at (address wise, not "In Glen Burnie, duh"), I need to get my SLU replaced under warranty, and my TPMS computer bit redone cause I've had the sensors synced about 30 times and the damn light still comes on. It must be a problem with the computer (4 new sensors are on the car).

I'd prefer to take it to a mod friendly dealer if I can... Unless there is a good one closer to Gaithersburg?

You're right but nobody would put it in writing and then a new service manager comes in and has a different view. On top of that if it was something major you often have the regional rep come in and look at it. I picked up the extended warranty so definitely want to be careful. The catch can would more than likely be my only mod. Plenty of HP, no suspension upgrades and I love the dual mode exhaust. Definitely have some thinking to do. Will definitely have a talk with the service manager at Radley Chevrolet. Thanks Shahid.

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!
