CatchCan Install Area?
Soooooo, has anyone installed their CatchCan in this area...?
Looks like the CabinFilter area...? May have to fabricate a bracket for the CC to mount on...or maybe someone has already created a bracket and i won't have to recreate the wheel. |

Here's what it looks like with the 'cover' over the CabinFilter:
Three of those plastic fasteners and pull up the 'seal'... |

This area looks like it's protected from the engine bay heat...which from reading previous threads is a darn good thing

That is a good place like where I put mine. It is out of the way also.

Yup, it'll get cool air see below...the cool air will be provided from a top vent: |

draining it doesn't look fun.

For sure it can not hurt mounting in that place, I did not even know there was a cabin filter.

Looks like a pain to maintain - check volume and drain. I would not want to pull the cover every time it needed done. Just my 2 cents.

My .02, the benefits of not having the CC anywhere near moving parts and locating it in a relatively cool place vice inside the engine bay does have its advantages. I'm thinking this unconventional location has not been considered. |
