UPRProducts came out with a application specific CC for our old Hemi's This one fits 02-05 from Nick@Gotexhaust. High quality design and engineering. Got the satin Black. Excellent finish and fitting. BUT,,the contential insta grip TC hoses are tough to get on. Little WD40 helped. With 15 years and 230k on the engine I was getting some mild blow by to the TB plenum. Should stop that.

Look at the first pic. The CC has a threaded tab. The 03 has a metal flashing piece that has factory holes. Perfect location.

Do your research gentlemen. On the gen3 the pcv is internal the intake manifold. Over the years there have been attempts to bypass it with a plug type adapter. I made one and used it for a short time. But then the real issue of exccessive condensation forming becomes the real issue caused by the warm/hot vapor being pulled through the relatively cool hoses. This kit doesn't look like it does anything with the pcv so only vents using the negative pressure caused by how restrictive the inlet air filter is. And then pulls that vapor/condensation into the intake tube. My recommendation is remove the oem hose, plug the hole in the intake tube and using a 90 degree hose attached to the fill pipe stick a small vent filter on it. If it has excessive blowby do a compression test to identify the problem.

So what have the oil breather completely on it's own and just throw a filter on it? Could you you post pictures of the filler cap to better show what you did
Thanks

I'm afraid it isn't very exciting, but that was it. Turn the oem hose straight up and put a filter on it. I've changed manifolds since and am boosted, but the vent I still use is the same style. Dirt simple, but effective.

I have the same thing. It’s just an autozone breather with whatever rubber 90° that fit with a hose clamp

Here you can see the throttle body 10,000 miles after I put the breather filter on. No oil gets to it now

Yep, 3g simple don't need a catch can. A breather does fine. Even supercharged it is sufficient.
