    Pretty simple. You can mount it on the battery tray or the place next to the radiator shroud on drivers side. GEt 3/8 '' fuel line I believe and go from your PCV valve to the nipple next to the bracket on your catch can then cut another line and go from the other nipple on the catch can to the intake manifold. Good idea to invest in a checkvalve to that will go in between the catch can and the intake manifold. whitefwdsm rules so he will probably have a good how-to with picts etc...

    How-To: Bwoody Catch Can & Check Valve Install

    by: WhiteFwdsm

    Parts required:
    -Bwoody Catch Can
    http://bwoodyperformance.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=34
    -Bwoody Check Valve
    http://bwoodyperformance.com/produc...id=64&osCsid=3ae88a9aad2ede595e61fe15f0eff575
    -3/8" Fuel Line
    (any auto parts store should carry this, buy about 6ft for safe measure)
    - Hose Clamps (qty: 4)
    (any auto parts store should carry this, make sure its for a 3/8" hose)
    - Zipties (maybe will be needed)

    Tools required:
    Flathead Screwdriver (clamps)
    10mm socket (mounting bolt)
    Vise grip or specific size wrench (for catch can nipple fittings)
    Scissors or Razorblade (cut the hose to precise length)

    ***This write up can be followed for any type of oil catch can install on an SRT-4. Required tools may differ.

    First, you want to locate the hose that runs from you PCV Valve on your valvecover to your throttlebody. Remove this line.

    Now its time to decide where you would like to mount the catch can. On one of my customers cars that was running the stock intake system with stock air box I mounted it here:

    On our car, I mounted it on the radiator bracket which can be seen here:
    [​IMG]

    There's many other places you can mount it at but those are the two I've always mounted the Bwoody catch cans on.

    Now that you have your catch can mounted to where you want its time to run the hoses and install the check valve. The check valve is needed for the any catch can install on an SRT-4. The check valve is placed between the hose running from the catch can to the throttlebody. The arrow on the check valve MUST point towards the throttlebody. Check valve should be installed in this manner:
    [​IMG]

    Once you installed the the check valve and the hose between the throttlebody and catch can your ready to run your last hose. This hose will be ran from the other nipple on the catch can to your PCV valve.

    Here you see the PCV valve on the valvecover... the hose coming from it...
    [​IMG]

    I have the hose running inbetween the intake runners then underneath the intake manifold to the catch can...

    ***Make sure all your hose clamps/zipties are tight.

    Any questions/comments please feel free to post them or PM me.
