like from a breather?

exactly, it goes on where the original breather pipe from rocker to intake pipe is

not sure if it will be very practical on the 6a12 personally i just use a small breather pod filter instead

but it does look cool

I reckon it does work, im already getting discolouration in the hose coming off the rear bank after i took it to an AHG tuning arvo

The pod was already on the car when i bought it, its just a HKS super power flow can get it from nengun, greenline etc. The pipe i got made at an exhaust shop cost me 120 and had to buy the silicone bend myself

Nice intake setup

Not a fan of catch cans on GPX's without aftermarket ECU control thou. The air coming form the manifold is metred air - ie measured by the MAS sensor in the plenum. Its expecting that air pressure to be there & when you plumb it else where, the ECU then has to compensate. You may find you're running rich now.

Oh, didnt know that. Not sure about fuel economy since installing it coz i havent filled up yet but my exhaust smells like fuel but that was like before, should really get the O2 sensor checked/replaced when im bothered.

Thinking of a tune later on when i get more mods on, noticed dstocks showed a nice power figure. Im planning the same mods except i want cams as well and probably head work while the motor is open before the tune.

could do its just when i was putting them together at the t-piece it was a bitch to get on coz the hoses were so tight so i just left them there and it was late when i installed it. Never thought about putting them under, might do it later when im bothered
