Has anyone out there installed a Billet Technologies Catch Can on their 2013 SRT8? The coil over covers are extended on mine and there is no room to install the can in its normal location.
At some point they changed the cover for aesthetics to cover the wire bundle. With that change the BT supplied kit doesn't work. It needs more spacers and a longer bolt.
Talked to Scott @ BT. They have not had a 2013 in the shop yet. Guess I will have to wait till they figure something out. Absolutely no room there on the 2013. I will upload a picture.
Mine looks like that, I just used the spacers BT sent with the can and added a bunch of washers with a longer bolt. That was the best solution I could come up with
Damn, really! I should have mine in a couple days and I have a 2013, so I'm going to have the same problem. That sucks. I want this to fit perfect. I'll have to figure something out.
You can find similar spaces at the hardware store that come with the BT kit. Else, buy a length of pipe and cut it to the size needed for a "longer washer".
So, trying to install and there's not really anyway of making the look good or functional without a whole new arm design. Even with a longer bolt and spacer, there's no room underneath as its hitting a cooling hose, for a person to be able to drain the catch can. I think we need a new arm designed up. I'll try to draw one up soon.
Yeah it is im pretty sure. It looks to me like on yours its a little higher than mine. Am i using the wrong hole? If i put my catch can on the only hole down there, a 5/16" hole, my catch can will pretty much rest on that cooling hose. Is yours a 2012 pkane3? I wish i had mine, its the wifes and i never see it, only at nights, she always works until 7.
I know this a older post but seeing as some others have bumped it. I ordered a new BT catch can from Speedlogix for the 392 in my Super Bee & I needed to pop a push in fastener that was holding some wires out of the correct bolt hole in the head, per the instructions they included with the BT can. You can see the wires wrapped in black & silver in this pic.
im having problems with mine too, i just got one from speedlogix, i emailed Shawn from speedlogix and he says hes never heard of any issues, yet it seems as if its a known issue. i cut the coil pack cover thinking it will solve the problem. i installed the z bracket, but now the catch can wont fit
Hey parry did you use or get any spacers? Looks to me you need to put some spacers between the head and the bracket then run a longer bolt thru. That should move the can out more
It took 12 washers lol I think the bolt was 4" long if I remember right. I just took the original bolt to get the threads right and also the spacers to look for the right length. You can actually go a little longer by accident as the threads go all the way thru and dont end
Yep - 2" would be perfect - Mine's just under ( 'Credit card' shown for comparo). Is different mounting point to yours, but the clearance change is the same (if you know what I mean). As my mount is up front & centre, I just used a chromed allen bolt to look pretty, and spent plenty of time giving the shaft a vigorous polish (She DID say that.. )
Good luck! Oh - Looks like I didn't rotate the pix sorry.. but you get the idea

I installed Diablosport catch can yesterday, had the same problem. I couldn't bother going to buy washers and a longer bolt so I decided to cut the cover. It was a bit of mess around, not perfect, but finally it turned out ok, not too bad after all! Lol
It's very good actually, only thing is when it comes to a hot day then it couldn't perform its best. It sucks lots of air in but it's the heat from the engine on hot weather that matters. I'm gonna get a heat shield installed and see how it goes.
Is it really that big of a deal? I understand that there are prime conditions, and cold air is essential for a cold air intake to operate properly, but I really don't think they would have engineered this intake without engine heat in mind.
It's the best looking intake out right now, but this heat issue is the only reason why I'm hesitant
