Do not cut the 1st rib of plastic, it will not leave enough for the AN Fitting to fit flush, and it will leak, if the fitting rattles, it will leak, you can do a test with blowing into it and covering the other end with your finger, if you can hear air, its leaking and you will get a check engine on lost pressure. I had to buy a new set of PCV valves to redo this cause i cut the 1st rib off of the plastic, do not do this.. I keep trying to post where to get all the right parts but it keeps getting deleted. You can get all the parts cheaper on amazon and ebay now, including using AN Fittings instead of the hose clamps on the catch cans to make it look really nice. but you have to make sure you do not have any leaks in the lines, or you will get a check engine light. Put a O ring inside the AN fittings on the plastic pieces, and do not cut the 1st ribb off, just sand them down and thread them on the fittings. I tried to post links to all this but you can get a good set of everything on Amazon and 150 degree fittings on eBay for much less than the posted places, do your research.

Thank you alot for this video i have long time waiting for install my Catch can and finally find the perfect setup for my 550i👏🏽💪🏽

[@umbrellasolutionstech]

good job, nice video. thanks for posting

[@lueluc8522]

Nice video I stumbled on. I also watched splitmod but didnt execute cai. Maybe some day. Did have catch cans sitting around. Since ur video this is my next project. Thanks.

[@painkiller5766]

I ordered them off Amazon. I posted the link. Good luck with the install

[@fmmd-1]

Hey bro im about to go this way on my S63 x5m. So far any positive or negative feedbacks on your system. Hope you’ve been able to catch some oil?

[@E70dino]

How you doin man. Have you don’t your valve seals in your ownership yet

[@dasuperstar13]

How much inches did you cut the braided hose to for your catch cans?

[@lueluc8522]

If u used a heat gun it slide right off

[@TtownLarry]

can you leave links for the CAI that you installed. They look amazing!!!

[@lueluc8522]

SlitMod video.

[@painkiller5766]

Splitt Mods has some of the best videos on KZbin. The MAF sensor for non TU will need a harness if you do not have a TU. Link is posted on this video.

[@painkiller5766]

All links for parts used is in the description. Look for the small down arrow on the bottom right corner of the video.

[@TtownLarry]

Hey PK, I have purchased everything for Oil Catch Cans and CAI. The only thing I am unsure about before eI tackle this project is the U Hose. The one I receveid seems too large. Could please confirm if is the correct size? Thank you so much!! 3' 76mm Center to center Distance 7.5 (190mm) Leg length 4.72.

[@painkiller5766]

I’m thinking of doing this but don’t like the prospect of having to dremel and cut those connections. Have you or anyone found a a solution to straight connecting it?

[@JellyStyleMaster]

plus his way LEAKS

[@TtownLarry]

Can you please tell me what size what the Carbon fiber Tubes were for CAI? 2.5' ??? Thanks

[@painkiller5766]

I believe they are 3’. Here is the link which will have the purchase list. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4OwmXtuibNmjdU

PK The Silcone U Tube linked from Spitt Mods does not look like the one pictured. I would really appreciate if you could confirm the dimensions as he has not responded to my ? for a few weeks now. Thank you!

[@painkiller5766]

Got it…sorry for the late response

[@elliotsimpson3591]

What year/model is your car & engine combo? This looks like a 2011-13 N63 (non-TU), is that correct?

[@painkiller5766]

Correct it is a 2011 550i - N63 non TU

[@elliotsimpson3591]

@@painkiller5766 When you took down the barbs of the push fittings, did you take just "trim" off the ridges and make the surface even, or did you take any extra material off and taper to account for electrical tape? How many turns of electrical tape did you apply? PS - I'm doing this mod now and trying to NOT overthink it, but I'm failing at not over thinking!

[@thumperrvt51]

So I did the same process and I couldn't get my car to stop smoking. As soon as I removed and put back stock it stopped smoking. Did you have any issue like that?

[@jaycurvin]

Try to swap the hoses

[@ArmedTheAsians]

Is it really impossible to install the catch can with the oem intake? Just recently got my 2021 XB7 Alpina, and there aren’t many parts out for me to upgrade as of now. I’ve purchased VRSF downpipe, and mishimoto oil cans for it but couldn’t find charge pipe for the ride

[@painkiller5766]

The air box left me no room in the back of the engine bay but I have seen 1 guy mount it up front

[@ArmedTheAsians]

@@painkiller5766 you talking about the guy with the M6 right? The one who 3D printed the mount

[@painkiller5766]

@@ArmedTheAsians LOL…yes. I of course did not have a 3D printer but his mod came out good.

[@ArmedTheAsians]

@@painkiller5766 yeah his came out super clean. I have a general idea on where I could place the cans. But there’s really no way to be 100% sure about it until the cans to come in. Was thinking about designing a custom brackets for the strut bars so I could have someone 3d printed for me. Will let you know how it comes out. Your car looking great btw, what else did you do to it?

[@painkiller5766]

@@ArmedTheAsians I did the intakes based off SplitMods design, M5 comp mufflers with resonator delete, lowered and JB4 install. Custom rim and tires and little stuff inside the car.

[@neubianx]

PK, there's another video of someone emptying their catch can after a month and there was a lot of water that it caught. What are you seeing?

[@painkiller5766]

I’m going to pull it out in a few weeks but the dip stick has oil on it

[@painkiller5766]

I’ll let you know in a few weeks

[@E70dino]

What year is your 550? And how much miles?

[@painkiller5766]

2011…I’m around 92,500 miles.

[@josefuentes9978]

Does it help to be running jb4 with these catch cans I seem to be getting a code (#107001) after install (throttle valve angle intake manifold pressure 2)

[@JellyStyleMaster]

you have leaking lines. read my comments.

[@JellyStyleMaster]

I keep trying to post the details of this correct install, it keeps getting deleted. You should not follow this, the lines will leak and throw a check engine, you need to make changes. Contact me for links to the setup to make it without hose clamps and a real professional setup that is air tight.

[@mquaschnick]

Would love another option-I have a 2014 550i … how can I contact you?

[@mannypakas2019]

Can this be done on n63TU cars or just non tu?

[@JellyStyleMaster]

Yes

[@lueluc8522]

?? How is your cold air intake in the rain??

[@painkiller5766]

No problem, but it really doesn’t rain that much in SoCal

[@waynegriffith6022]

I have a similar CAI and rains all the time no problem ever

[@looneygenna1716]

What’s the quarter mile on that car

[@painkiller5766]

It’s never been timed.

[@waynegriffith6022]

Why not fit the hose right onto the pieces instead of cutting them off ?

[@painkiller5766]

The 10An fitting would not fit snug, the ending is too long. A hose fitting without a 10AN fitting is a 3/4 hose which is to big to manipulate in the small space. I tried a straight fit of a 3/4 hose on both ends of the valve but could not get turned back to the catch cans. Everything is dictated by the intake set up.

[@waynegriffith6022]

@@painkiller5766 I ended up doing Qty 4 3/4" ID - 90 Degree brass elbows instead of the connections and went with a catch can that has 3/4" inlet and outlet helped with the install.

[@painkiller5766]

Any way to add a pic for people who would rather go with your set up? I would also like to see how it looks

[@jperry7480]

@@waynegriffith6022 did you use 4AN, or 6AN?

[@waynegriffith6022]

@@jperry7480 Some reason I cant add a picture the hose I used was a blue 3/4" ID I did not use the connection tubes I did use a U tube found on LT1 chevy engines but found that if you switch the connection that is on the valve cover that they will fit and face the rear of the engine which then connects through a that 3/4" hose directly to the catch can.

[@gooden000]

I don't think you needed those metal ends

[@JellyStyleMaster]

I try to post links on where to get all this stuff for less and better, but KZbin deletes my comments if i put links in it, look at my Youtrube profile and send me an email, and I'll send you the details. You need to smooth the entire fittings with the dremel as shown. Do not cut it shorter. Wrap electrical tape in the direction of how you screw on the fittings. Put a o ring inside the fitting that’s about the size of the inner fitting. Put it all together. It will be wait tight and don’t overtighten. Just to when the sitting doesn’t rattle or move on it’s own. Test blow into an end and close the other end with ur finger. If it’s air tight. You will be good to go.

[@giancarloasencio9929]

Hey man! I just aw this comment but I have already bought the whole set up. You said the contact you for all the details for it not to leak. Do you think you could help me out with that? Just in case I have the N63TU model. I would really appreciate the help if something can be done to not leak and still use the same set up as his

[@giancarloasencio9929]

Also, I have a friend that told me that another way to reassure for no leaks to put some permatex black around the AN fitting and the PCV. Do you think that’s good enough besides adding the step you mentioned?
