I am concerned with mine. I talked to a tech at the dealer the other day who said it is installed too close to the firewall. He said when the engine torques there is so little room in the C63 that it actually pushes the adapters against the firewall and could cause the lines to break. The pictures showed the catch can going in the back, but they also had to show the catch can going in the front for the C63 because there is no room.
I posted about this to Wesitec and asked them, but have not heard a response yet.
For those that have it installed, how close are your adapters to the firewall? Mine is literally touching.

I might uninstall mine due to the clearance issue and pass on savings to someone else. I'm still undecided though. I want to hear back from Weistec first.

I actually checked mine last week as part of my winter prep. Everything 100% after 6,000 klm including 2 track days. Sorry for the iphone pic>>>

Hoozyerdaddy, I sent you a PM on the "other site". I might have missed the question now that I see pictures. It seems like the routing of the lines can be done a little differently to fit better in the tight space. It should route behind the oil dip stick and the lines can be zip tied together. The plastic tub on the PCV valve can also twist within itself so you can clock the fitting it the correct direction as well. Let me know if this helps. Thanks.

Thanks Steve! I'll update next week when I go back to the shop who installed it. I'm going to dyno the car too.
