RX Performance catch can for Explorer Sport

I have installed an RX catch can on my 16 Sport. It was a confusing pain in the ars ONLY because:
1. They provided outdated, incomplete and misleading instructions based on the F-150
2. Did not supply a key hose connector, nor mentioned it in their instructions
3. Instructions from other installs available online are not accurate. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DRILL EITHER TURBO INTAKE PIPE
4. Do NOT cut the OEM hose to remove the quick connect fittings. Heat them up with a hair dryer and they should pop out..

Call RX and have them explain to you how it should be installed and to confirm that they supplied all correct parts
It took me days of screwing around with hoses and running around trying to find a 3/8NPT tap.
If I was to do it again, I could install it in half an hour.

This is my understanding of how it should be installed:

After 1k miles of winter driving, there was next to nothing in the catch can. Therefore, I question the need for this engine warranty voiding contraption.
May be installing it in front of the radiator would allow more condensation, but I am not removing the bumper to do that.

Thanks for the pics and providing your feedback.
It appears the JLT catch-can is a simpler install (and removal for warranty purposes).
