Oil catch cans installed

I bought these a while back but just recently got off my butt to do the install. I upgraded to 3/8 fittings because of my mods and tune. I am happy where I mounted them and think it looks pretty clean. What do you think?

Nice. Some close-up photos would help us see them better though.

They match your theme perfectly, but I strongly disagree with the mounting on the right side one. Sitting it sideways makes it almost worthless as a catch can...

Did you install for show? Or do you actually get blow-by? +1 on the side cc not doing much, might as well not even have it there. But it definitely looks clean.

The strut bar is made by GTspec. The cans are made of aluminum and filled with copper to catch oil that is passing through. The one that is sideways has been working just fine. These pics were taken before I hooked up the hoses to it. It's hard to tell from the pics but it is slightly tilted to drain side. I check it every oil change and have drained oil from it....so it is working. Thanks for the comments!

Try tilting it upright and see if that collects more?

Polished spark plug cover up next?

There's two places the crank case can spew dirty oil back into the intake... generally called "breather" and "vent" sides, one goes to the intake just before the turbo inlet, the other goes to the intake at the manifold.

I have a cover from JNZ but only put it on during shows...I might try tilting it more for 3000 mi and see if any more oil comes out?
