I too would like to see pics of one installed in a WBX. I think a lot of the people who say no problem have never tried to install one on a WBX......... I have tried, sandwich plate adapter, etc., and was not comfortable with how close the oil lines went to the exhaust, so i pulled it off.............I felt it was an accident waiting to happen.
