    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.

    1. You want to locate the hose that runs from you PCV Valve on your valvecover to your throttlebody. Remove this line. Its a plastic line with rubber hose ends.

    Now its time to decide where you would like to mount the catch can. You can mount it on the radiator bracket or if you want at the end of the battery tray. If your still running the stock intake manifold/stock airbox then the battery tray location would be the choice. There's many other places you can mount it at but those are the two I've always mounted the Bwoody catch cans on.

    I mounted it on the radiator bracket which can be seen here:

    2. 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:

    3. 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. I ran the hose underneath the intake manifold coming out between the back of the power steering resevoir and coolant neck.

    The direction of flow:

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