Weapon-R Oil Catch Tank

Has anyone used this product? Where does it mount exactly in the engine bay?

It mounts right in the middle of the radiator support, right where the ram air piece for your stock intake is. Works great as is, no custom brackets are needed as this is specifically made for a G35. If you had to make mounts, you didn't get a car specific oil catch tank. I'll take some pics of mine some other day...

This is going from the left cover to the intake. The hosing on the other head to the lower plenum is too small for this catch can...

How much oil have you accumulated? From what I understand, the majority of oil blowby it collected from the lower plenum passage. Do you have a second catch can?

Be sure to update us, some people have begun to collect oil after a few hundred miles when connected to the other side
