Just finished installing this. Took way more than one hour- and I'm a fairly decent non-pro mechanic. PCV valve is really hard to get too and the provided clamps have to be clocked exactly or you can't get to them and don't fit in the tight space. A 7mm deep socket on a 1/4' drive barely worked to get the clamp tight at the PCV valve- I was real close to just reusing the OE spring clamp. The mount for the can is well engineered and reasonably sturdy.
After looking at this vid I was thinking why not use the oem spring clamp on the pcv. I may order this soon and will try their clamp first. Thanks for the feedback. Is it easy to drain/check?
@@LjGarciaSA so far I've only noticed a thin oily film inside the can- nothing to dump out after about 1k miles. It's a bit awkward to unscrew and maneuver out to look at it. That's the trade off for it being tucked away into the space it's in. It would be nice if there was more texture or ridged machines on to the can to make it easier to unscrew/screw from the housing.
@@jedwin4816 good to know. Honestly, I want a catch can kit that does not cut into the oem hoses. That is the primary reason for looking at this one. I know radium cuts in and I think boomba if I recall. Then again, I have uninstalled an AOS before and used connectors to piece the oem hoses when I sold a car.

@@LjGarciaSA I went with this as well to not cut oem hoses. Also the radium wont work with the ets intake box unless you cut it.
Perfect timing. I just ordered one two days ago. 👍
It seems this may fit my Outback Wilderness with inlet and outlet being larger than usual catch cans. Mounting location seems similar.
How to drain/empty the can?
There is a drain plug on the bottom, you can also twist off the entire bottom of the can, or you can purchase the drain kit we separately.
@@mishimoto Thanks much!
Will this fit the Acent?
This is not directly compatible with the Subaru Ascent. Sorry!
@mishimoto any plans to make one for the Ascent than?
Not at this time.
Will this fit CVT?
Yep!
