there is a tube that runs off the back end of the valve cover on the exhaust cam side. That tube runs to the intake pipe

is that the same location where a lot of people put breather filters?

I thought that it had to be plumbed in between the PCV valve and the Intake manifold?

not between the PCV Valve & Intake manifold. The tube you should connect should be on the side of the valve cover (that's the connection that runs to the intake). You basically connect both ends to the catch can.

okay I understand, its just that on the SRT4, everyone runs the catch can in betwen the PCV valve and intake manifold plumbing.

got pictures of exactly where the hoses are coming out from on both locations? I looked at some few pics but can only find one of the hoses which is the one closer to you when standing towards the car, the other I couldnt see clearly where its coming out from.

Just follow the stock hose from the valve cover. Once you pull off that hose, there will be a nipple down by the intake tract that the outlet hose of your catch can will connect to.

Edit: This may help: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=98735

I have the BR intake which doesnt have the nipple for that.... what do you guys with that intake do?

Just run that hose down beneath the car and let it vent there?
