M7 oil catch can install

Hey guys,

I was gifted an m7 oil catch can and although I know it is much more useful in FI engines, I would still like to install it. I am having trouble with the install as almost everywhere shows them being used on turbo'd engines. Any help would be great! I have a 2012 r56 justa

My ghetto way

I replaced the plastic silence chamber (or whatever appropriate name for that pup) with aluminum elbow, and mounted my catch can on chamber’s mount.

I took the silencer out too. How did you connect the hoses?
