Na man, just snake those hoses thru. And route them nicely and zip tie them to something thats stationary. If ur thinking to remove them cuz of the pics on Needswings with the breather covers off, thats just so u can easily get a visual of what and where the attach to. Hope this helps.

I had expected some oil (I am a lead-foot) and was pleasantly surprised none was present. Seems this XF doesn't need a catch can yet.

Interesting. I had a catch can in my Neon SRT-4 and it served a good purpose. But I am not 100% sold for the Crossfire yet. NeedsWings states that it is a MUST for all SRT-6 owners and should be the first mod that is done. I tend to believe them. But is it REALLY needed?

Gotcha. Seems like Needswings is the only Vendor that makes the catch cans for the SRT-6. Putting it on my list of things to buy soon for my SRT-6

Needswings is the only vendor nowadays for alot of parts and Rob is very knowledgeable. As of late LM21 is starting produce quality parts for our cars as well.

Maybe one of the really smart guys will engineer a cleaner looking setup or something completely different that they would share.

LM21? Link on whatever/who that is.
"Really smart guys?" I think it looks fine and is hidden quite well.

Re: Oil Catch Can???

He also did the paddle shift kit. Quite the engineer! I love his belt wrap kit so much that both our SRT-6s will be sporting it soon(one on, one waiting).
