VSE catch can - installed

[jonlsu]

Just installed it. Took longer than expected but got it done. Highly recommend the hose clamp pliers that they recommend. Tried for over an hour without them and ended up going and buying some. Well worth the price for how easy it was after that.
After I took pics I adjusted the hose clamps in the 3rd photo a bit so they won’t come close to rubbing.

Did you install from above or up thru the wheel well? I couldn't find a way to slip it in from the engine bay. Do you feel the wires from wiring harness have sufficient clearance to prevent rubbing?
Thanks for your photos and any installation details.

I went from above. I unscrewed both sides of the of the battery bracket and just moved the wires over a bit and had plenty of room to get it in there. Once I had it loosely bolted on, I installed the hoses on it.
The hardest part was the hose clamps. The tool they recommended was a game changer.
As far as rubbing, the only spot that I can see that might would cause something is close to the oil catch can and the electrical wiring. It does touch the foil wrapping but it doesn’t vibrate as or move at all. I put a small piece of gorilla tape right where it touches.
Driven about 500 miles so far and I can’t see any wear at all on the tape.

I appreciate the additional information. I'll retry getting my unit installed.

Does the VSE setup give you enough space to drain the contents directly into a can without spilling through the engine bay? I know it has a hose, but based on the photos it doesn't seem like there is a lot of space.

There’s not a lot of room but I can easily get a water bottle in there and open the valve to drain it.
