where?
Not sure why i'm intrigued with these. I feel there really isn't a reason to have one but....I still kinda want one. Are they relatively easy to install?
EDIT:
oh, i'm guessing ebay? tons of these things for nxt to nothing.

Then by all means, buy them on Ebay............I don't need the money nor the headache. ![Beer05](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/beer05.gif)
If you were local and wanted it, I would probably just give it to you and help ya put it in.

^ I Bought the cach can from ebay. To mount it at the airbox tray I just bought a corner brace (the largest size they have) from Wallmart. You can find this kind of things at the hardware department. I also had to make the holes bigger so the screws can go through.

Bringing this one back at the request of Mazurfer.
I finished up my install of a catch can today. I started with the Weapon R catch can kit for the Mazda RX-8 but then changed it up a little bit. I did this because I wanted an OEM appearance in my engine bay and the polished aluminum finish on the catch can wasn't going to do that.
I removed the Weapon R emblem and then dropped it off to get it powdercoated flat black. Once I got it back I decided I hated the hose Weapon R provided so I went and got some hose from a local parts store. The hose I got was just a LITTLE too small for what it was being connected to but I did that for a reason as I don't like the look of clamps in an engine bay and this was the way to avoid that. It took a little force to get them on but they are NOT coming off, I didn't need clamps, and they aren't stretching much at all so I'm not worried about them tearing.
I hated the way breather filters looked so I routed some extra hose back to the intake and zip-tied it under the strut tower bar to clean up the appearance some. Because of the size of the can I don't think I'll have to worry about oil being sucked into the intake but that's speculation.
Anyways, here are the pictures:

Nice and stealthy, just like I want it!

Here you can see how I routed the hoses. I over-sized the one going back to the intake just a little so I could route it under the strut tower bar and use zip-ties to keep it in place. You can see it, but it's not as bad as it could have been.

Close up of the catch can itself. It had a Weapon R emblem on the top of it but I removed it. It was only held on by tape so it just took a little time convincing it with a razor blade to come off.

got the same kind as tza0001 from ebay, silver instead of red. was kind of a pain to install as the hardware they give to mount it really doesn't sync up with any place you could actually put it and it's pretty tall. I ended up having to go to Lowe's to get a steel shelving support and sawing that into pieces that I could actually use. once I get a few days off I'll probly take a metal file and some black spray paint to the mount so it doesn't look so out of place.

That ebay catch can definitely makes you creative. You got to spend some time with it to find out a way to put it on. It feels nice though after you make it work, doesn'it? I changed the hoses because they feel and look kind of weird to me.

I feel like odd man out here. Why hasn't anyone else used the open hole on the intake manifold for mounting?

My can is the same as the red ebay one... just in black. Still am deciding on a solution for shortening the breather hose.

^ i think there's no different on 04-08 model, just a matter where to mount the can and the hose setup..
ShellDude if i recall you can use the breather without the hose..

...I know I looked at that as a potential mounting point... not quite sure what fault I found with it though... either way, kinda like how it looks where I stuck it.
