It can be or you can install it yourself, takes about 15 minutes with some basic hand tools...

You can buy them here cheaper than the dealer:

fyi the mighty mouse setup comes with your choice of mounting location. and it's not a mishimoto part. win-win.

You can see them both below...

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but do you have to remove the strut bar to drain the catch can? Going to be installing both when my car arrives.

Hey guys, I was wondering how much of a pain in the ass it is to empty these when they are mounted way in the back under the strut bar?

It's not bad, I can reach the catch can and unscrew it without removing anything else. The Mishimoto does have a nut on the bottom that you could put a drain hose and valve on if you wanted to.

Basically I use 2 hand and reach on either side of the struct tower brace and can get about a quarter turn per try until it is loose then I just reach in from the front and unscrew it easily... I've emptied it probably 8-9 times this way, never a problem...

Just wanted to throw this on here since I didn’t see a pic of it. BMR brace with the mishimoto CC. And yep, gotta clean the engine bay, I feel much shame…
