Its connected to the filler neck of the passenger valve cover and the factory PCV location on the Driver side, then the hoses Y together on the way to the catch can. I dont have the factory intake tube or manifold to worry about.
Thanks! Makes sense now. Russ

Update 8/20/2024:

I decided to go with two cans:

Placed the first one (from passenger's side valve cover to intake snorkel) on the side of the engine compartment, using the supplied bracket and an existing bolt just under the hood. I'll have to remove the bolt to get this one open. Not ideal, so will puzzle on this for a time.

Placed the second one (from drivers side valve cover PCV to intake manifold) up front on the plastic radiator mount. Drilled a hole in the mount and used the supplied aluminum bracket and a stainless steel nut and bolt.

My credo
drives a stick shift ranger
thats funny, empty often. that my kind of reminder

i had a single catch can on my di 5.6 litre v8 powered nissan titan. when i first put it, i checked it often so i could learn how often it needed filling. it ended up that i could empty it each oil change and it wasn't even half full.

hopefully yours requires as little emptying as my titan's can did

Looks good! I don’t remember mine coming with any mounting brackets. Glad they do now!

The new ones came with a decent quality hose too! Good fit for the driver's side. But had to buy 1/2 inch hose for the passenger side.

Good to know! I’ll probably be buying one for my k2500 here soon.
