I'd like to take a look at your setup. Can't we just add a breather style cap?

Here is the drivers side with filler cap and the passengers side going to the catch can plumbed into the intake.

thank you....i'd swap that cap out for a breather or get a different catch can with a breather.

Like these guys are saying, too much suck, not enough venting.

But you said it goes away when you remove the hose? Maybe you need a larger inlet and hose. Sound might be coming from the can. If you can get a mechanics stethescope with a tube end to pin point the sound. Or just stick a hose in your ear.

Since my cap is tucked away back behind the coil and next to the fire wall it seems like making a breather would be the simple solution. Making a breather out of the cap with a little K/N.

Here's all you need to do ------ fire it up --- see if it makes the noise -- when it starts -- open your oil fill.... $100 says it goes away and you hear a sucking noise when you open the oil fill.

Put a breather in "SOMEWHERE" and problem solved.

Your right, thats what will happen. At this point I just need to drill and tap the fill cap to put a breather on it. Now if I can just stop my OCD, I'll be able to move forward and not over think a simple breather. (I've reworked my wiring harness like five times, and burned out one soldering gun!):thumbsup:

The bird is done squealing!
 
Thanks you guys for the help. Put a breather on the filler cap and now my motor sounds like it should! I'll take some picks when I get the final install complete. Just waiting for some -AN fittings and CF K&N breather from Summit.:thumbsup:

You are da Man!


Good to hear. Or in your case -- not hear!

:cheers:

Now my valve cover leaks on the drivers side!!!
 
Some times its hard to win and feeling that way now.:censored: :censored: I have those carbon fiber valve covers and now my drivers side leaks oil. I don't think it leaked before because there was vacume when it wasn't vented. Now that its vented the darn thing leaks. Replaced the gasket and it still leaks:( .
