daveyboy 897 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've got a little air filter on mine but I'm gonna put a catch tank on coz you get the burning oil smell into the cabin when your stationary. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Gilly17 51 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Put a catch can on mine. Found in difficult to find a good place for it. Ended up putting it on the inner wing next to the air filter. Bit of messing about with hose reducers and 90 bends. But manage to do it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk MJ Vr6 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MJ Vr6 79 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 As Gilly said, run it down by inner wing, go all the way down the wing, best place, don't smell no oil fumes a, only downside few drops oil here and there. But that's a minor!!! Link to post Share on other sites
