Very easy installation. Just replace the PCV and intake manifold line with the new supplied lines.
Remove the bolts behind the PS reservoir and use those holes and bolts for the new bracket. (all 8mm)
Line up the new lines and bracket to the catch can bracket and install the final bolt and nuts.
Zip tie the ends on the new lines once everything is lined up.
This will prevent any oil from entering the manifolds.
Thank you Andrew for posting yet another fantastic tutorial.
Was oil oil getting into your intake manifold?
Thanks, Rob! There was oil residue when I took the hose off. You can see it in the video. I've always put catch cans in my cars, just didn't realize they made one for this car until recently.
I installed one on our 2007 V8V a little over 2 years ago. I usually get somewhere a little under 1/2 cup over 4,500 miles. I drain it when I change the oil.
This last time I forgot to drain it during the oil change so this was about 6,000 miles of driving I think

Wow, that is a lot. Imagine that going into your manifolds. Good to know how often to change it. I was planning on changing with my oil change cycle too. I only drive about 3500 so that will work. Thanks for sharing!
Best of luck. Very cool project if you're interested.
This is an interesting approach. He has intercepted the crankcase breather before it gets to the PCV harness and sends it to the catch can first. Its a stealthy install for people who have to pass visual emissions tests.

He has other videos that help out the DB9 V12 world and is very smart. I've never heard of visual inspection for emissions, but it shouldn't hurt the chances of passing. I feel as if catch cans should be standard on cars :P

California has visual emission inspections. Anything that touches anything related to emissions without a C.A.R.B sticker on it will fail. So a typical catch can will fail emissions because you are tampering with the PCV system and it will be easy for the inspection station to see.

DAYUMMMMM Cali stinks. How does anyone mod their car in that state. I used to see the best-looking cars come from there. Here in MD, you can slip the emissions guy a 20 and off you go haha jk. They wouldn't know what a catch can was to save their lives. We have 24 self-service kiosks that you hook up an OBD connector to. It's for cars that are newer so I never have to go through the line and have a person do it.

Our vehicles are registered where we spend our winters and there are zero inspection requirements. This means no asinine inspection stickers and only one rear license plate required.
