A few modifications will require that you retune for them whereas others don’t require a tune, but you will not get the full benefit of the modification without one. Get a custom one from Saikou Michi for the same price and no hassle, sure it takes 6-8 weeks but you just email them your car and what you want and they get back to you super fast.There are few modifications that you can apply on your car that will make as big a difference as a tune. Long story short, don't get a Mishimoto can if you want it to fit correctly. So I call back and the CS guy says oh, that's for some models- others use M16 x 1.5 threads, so I look these up and the only barb I can find which is 3/8" with that M16 on the other side is brass and looks like it's for water or a gas stove fitting or something. So I call and the guy is like well you can source a different barb as long as it's NPT threaded I think he said, I wrote it down but I threw it away after spending an hour on it. They only make two sizes of barbs, the 1/2" ones which already come with every can they make or a 3/4" one I believe it was. All of their new oil catch cans have a 1/2" inlet and 1/2 outlet barb so the tendency is to think "I'll just buy one of those and buy a barb separately. Sorry, I meant if I replaced the outlet barb with a 1/2" one but I called Mishimoto twice and they weren't super helpful although the guy tried. I found this thread on the forums helpful when doing mine: If you have the stock air box, the fuse box on the right side is your best bet. I cant remember what that reservoir is on the left side. If you have an aftermarket intake, I’d recommend mounting it using some of the mounting points that are freed up near the power steering fluid(?) reservoir. But doing it that way can be tricky and require some bracket fabrication. It’s always good to have gravity on your side. It’s best to mount the can lower than where the oil vapor is coming out of the engine.
Where you would have the hoses coming from the engine, the fuse box location on the right is actually farther away than behind the headlight on the left. I used an adapter at one point, but it impedes some of the air flow and causes oil buildup where the fitting is. You can use a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter, but it is better to find a catch can that has 1/2 out and 3/8 in. Is there a consensus on the best place to mount the can? There's more space behind the headlight but it's quite a bit further away from the engine so I don't know if it matters to use hoses that long.

In the video he attaches the can with a roof strap, which he got from a hardware store, to the uppermost screw holding the fuse box in place but in most of the other videos that I've seen they mount it behind the driver side headlight on the bar. Is this something which can be corrected with an adapter? Or would it be best to find one that has a 3/8 inch inlet barb? Most of the oil catch cans which I've looked at have 1/2 inch inlet and outlet whereas according to the video I need a 3/8 inch hose for the inlet and a 1/2 inch for the outlet. A user here previously posted his video which outlines the process and is very clear, but I have two questions which I need to figure out before purchasing a can and hoses. I'm looking to purchase an oil catch can for my 2016 base model Genesis and a few of the particulars are confusing.
