Dirt simple install. You should see an inch or two of yilch (technical term) in a couple 100 miles.

Here's a pic of it installed. My question is how did y'all connect the line to the throttle body? When I took the line off, at first I took the rubber piece off the throttle body aswell thinking the supplied rubber line just slid on... Found out that was not the case. I had to go to the parts store to and get a union for the 2 hoses. The only one they had was kinda long so I couldn't slide the rubber piece all the way back on to the throttle body. I did get it on pretty far so I just added the clamps to be safe...what's the correct way? I plan on this being temporary.. Looks like **** on a truck with 351 miles on it.....

BT catch cans come with a small brass fitting that does the same thing than the one you bought just looks a little cleaner. The one you have on there now doesn't look to bad, you could blacken the clamp to match.

I actually won this catch can from a contest unbroken posted on here... Everything that came in the box actually looked new. He must have had to use the fitting for the new can he got. No biggie... I will just go get one the next time I go to lowes. There isn't a ton of pressure on the lines is there? I don't need to worry about them blowing off while I'm driving should I?

no not a ton of pressure...i have not heard of any one blowing that line out so you should be fine.

Neil. Can you just replace the hose from the catch can to the Throttle Body? Maybe cleaner looking than the union connecting them together. Truck looks great. Enjoy that can!

That was the first thing I tried because that seemed the cleanest and easiest. The hose would not go on there for nothing. I tried oil and everything but it was just to tight. I stopped before I broke it.thats actually when I referred ack here to look at some pics and saw that brass fitting..... I actually took it back off this morning and put back to stock until I get some braided lines for it. It's gonna look real clean when I get my CAI and some room opened up under there...
