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.

Minimal so far. It has stopped belching smoke during the occasional start up though. This motor stopped burning huge oil after about 2000klm

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.

So the PCV valve can face forward toward the engine? I'll try this out. If it doesn't protrude toward the firewall then there should be anything to worry about I think.

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.
