I need to double check which ones come with the AP1 version of Radium's unit. Zero, would you be able to post a photo of your install? These cans must be smaller than I'm imagining. I'm thinking of the dual catch can with pet cock drain valves and wonder where they will fit.

This is the only picture I have , it is a bit dark. This is the single can setup, the dual can is a pretty nice mounting system, Radium has pictures of it on their website for the S2000. Mine is a tight fit, I think the drain cock and tubing would be a good option to have on it, I have been thinking of modifying the mount slightly to get me more access but it isn't as bad as it looks once you learn how to access it. Plus I am not getting a large amount of accumulation so I may be able to go quite a few months between drains.

I think you catch most oil under high vacuum conditions, so daily driving city conditions, in steady state highway I don't seem to lose as much oil on my ap1. At WOT I think most of the oil loss is past the rings on the ap1's as things get hectic in the cylinders at 9000 rpms, lol.
