Anyways here is my setup and what I pulled out of the cans after 6 months roughly.

2012 ISF 90,000kms, 3500ft elevation (for what it matters), daily driven year round, fairly conservative driver.


Right, but what is it? Oil, blowby acids, water? It would be very interesting to know exactly what these catch can setups are pulling out of the airstream especially since Lexus put a lot more time and effort into managing blowby with this engine compared to the vast majority of engines available to the automotive consumer.

I didn't need to use two catch cans but I had the option for no additional cost.

Vibrant 90 Degree aluminum bend - $45
AN fitting + welding - $5 + $50 (I welded this myself so it was free but $50 is reasonable)
Radium Dual Can - $315 (Subtract $150 for single can setup)
AN Fittings + Hose - $60
Two Silicone Couplers - $25

My exact setup would normally cost roughly $500USD but a more reasonable single can setup would cost roughly $320-$350USD

Oh then I'd say most of us would say the RR would be more than suffice for its cost and function. But more power to you on your setup.
