i dont want to sound like a bad guy, but those intakes are no good, they draw hot air temp from the engine bay, causing power loss and faster overheating. |

I would say yes they are, but don't quote me on that, it does seem to be installed out of the way.

I have catch cans on my turbo Veloster but not on the Z. Boost makes more blow by and crankcase contamination + direct injection and I have been shocked at how much the catch cans have collected between oil changes. That said, when I changed out my intake manifolds with the Z1 400HP ported manifolds, I was very and pleasantly surprised how clean the ports and intake vales were, quite pristine actually(32K miles). So I think they really are not needed on this car in NA configuration. Also, I have tracked this car so again, quite surprised how clean everything was. Will they hurt, no and they may help to some degree depending on the age of your engine and how you drive. Your mileage may vary.

Considering the 370Z is port injected in both NA and FI, skip to 2:33 of this linked YouTube video. There are all of 10 seconds to describe an oil catch can for port injection, vs 10m56s for direct injection. Really just adding weight.

I installed the ADD-W1 dual catch can kit at 37k miles and at 39k the driver side can had a little over an ounce of oil goop that registered on the built in dipstick - not much but glad it didn’t get put back in my intake.
