I bet that car doesn't even run. Half show cars just get rolled into the show. I have no clue what it's for though. Would be interesting to find out though...

Yep. An extra catch can solely for the valvecover.

not really required at all for 480 HP but if thats what he likes then so be it. theres a lot of stuff people get these days that arent really required for the hp they are at. i can think of a few 400-500 hp cars that have really simple setups without fancy stuff everywhere.

for one that is brandons car 480whp ek hatch with a gsr motor in it. That car hauls *** and he is a member of team rice which is local to me

The ss Line that is running from the valve cover he specifically told me was to relieve the crank case pressure, it is not going to a catch can from what I was told.

It's definately not necessary to have that many valve cover vents, and you don't ned them on the front. It's all for the bling.
