Default Oil catch fmic fitment

As time goes on many of you will learn I have the mechanical know how of a duck and will ask what are seemingly obvious questions.

Today's seemingly obvious question is:
How easy is it to fit an oil catch can to my MY03 wrx with a FMIC and is there any real benefit apart from having a nice shiney thing in your engine bay.

Thanks in advance


Tim.

Benefit is your FMIC will not get filled with oil film, plus you will get slightly better combustion as the air that is vented back into the inlet track reduces the oxygenation.
