What can I say about Paragon that hasn't been said already? Every part that I've seen from these folks are just mind blowing. I would like to know about the wing that mounts to the trunk is that a Paragon product?
Thank you for the kind words 😊 The wing on the back is produced by Verus Engineering and will be sold by us sometime in spring. We will release the product on Facebook and Instagram so make sure to follow us 😁
@@ParagonPerformance it not a very nice looking wing, looks a little "clumsy and over designed". I am looking for trunk mount wing/spoiler for c8, can you help?
So the PVC hoses that you took off of those 2 spots originally just hang loosely in the engine compartment? And where do the original PCV hoses dump the vapor if you didn't install the catch can? Is that the canister located behind the rear wheel on the passenger side? Can I remove that canister (if that is what I'm thinking it is)? If would make the install of a high wing spoiler so much easier.
The OEM PCV hoses will be discarded after installing our catch can. The OEM PCV line takes the unburnt gasses and puts them back into the intake tract which overtime will cause carbon build up on your valves. As far as your high wing install, this won't be in the way of it.
I just installed the can. I've noticed that my hose connection ends did not have the allen wrench fitting adjustment. Fyi. Also, the fittings did not make a click sound. The fittings were much tighter when installed. Is it ok to be tight when the fittings were installed without making a click sound like the OEM fitting? It's so much tighter, it may be hard to take it off. However, it does twist in place and it's not going to come off.
Double check to make sure the connection is seated properly. Sounds like everything is installed properly. As far as the Allen heads in the video the hardware was updated for ease of install.
I received my oil catch can but missing the stainless steel screws and no clamps came with the product to clamp on the hoses as shown in your video. Can you explain
The clamps are no longer provided with the kit as they are back ordered indefinitely. Our team found a new solution so the clamps are no longer needed. As far as the stainless screws those should have came with your kit. Send us a email at Support@ParagonPerf.com
I just purchased this product. My questions is, I already have close to 20K miles on my C8 2020 HTC, is it to late or will this product still prevent oil, fuel, water and carbon from entering my engine? One more question, is this the same company that was started by the late Dick Fortier in Rankin Michigan? I new Mr. Fortier very well as I grew up in Grand Blanc, MI. Thanks
In simple terms it collects the oil vapors and stores them in a can which you empty every oil change or so. You're correct that it's more protection but in the long run it saves your performance from being decreased.
@@ParagonPerformance i know would just be cool to see it done on convertible to kill any confusion. I don’t know how to take the cover off but I guess a quick look in the owners manual will do.

@@ParagonPerformance Would love to hear if you have any more information on the high wing that you showed in this video
@Babe Adams It's available for pre-order on our website. 😎

Nice job again. Install videos are topnotch.
Glad you like them!
You have great products and great instructional videos
That's a nice SV outside👍🏻
Great video guys 👍🔥🔥
Very easy installation thank you
So if I buy the can.....will you throw in a C8 vette too ?
We could locate a matchbox one somewhere I'm sure. ;)
Does the catch can have a filter that will need to be changed with vehicle maintenance?

Does the Oil catch Can mount and still maintain the engine cover?
Yes the catch can is mounted to a bracket and you can still use a engine cover.
Where should I spill/dispose the oil that collects in the catch can
Check with your local auto parts store.
So the hoses that were disconnect just remain unplugged and left to hang?
The hoses that we're disconnected will be plugged back in. They are removed during install so you have more room to navigate.

Can HTC owners reach the catch can from under the car without taking off the engine access panel?
It would be a lot easier to just take off the engine access panel.

It's not to late to put this on, It will help from here on out!
We are not associated with Mr Fortier.
@@ParagonPerformance Thanks

I am engine illiterate so what does this do again? it appears more protection than performance, correct?
In simple terms it collects the oil vapors and stores them in a can which you empty every oil change or so. You're correct that it's more protection but in the long run it saves your performance from being decreased.
@@ParagonPerformance thanks
Okay, I will be the one to ask…….. doesn’t this void the warranty?
No it will not void warranty.
Video for convertible variant?
It's the same as the coupe, just remove the cover over the engine.
@@ParagonPerformance i know would just be cool to see it done on convertible to kill any confusion. I don’t know how to take the cover off but I guess a quick look in the owners manual will do.
@@Lord4Quad We don't have a convertible car to show it on. Next time we have one in the shop we'll make a video on how to remove the cover 😉
@@Lord4Quad all it takes is removing 18 screws with a #15 TORX.
Will this work and install correctly with the lingenfelter intake manifold?
Great question! It does with with the Lingenfelter PTR Manifold! We have both installed on our track car.
