Honestly I didn't log enough before I put it in to make any kind of real comparative results.

It is 100% worth it just for the look on people's face at tech inspection though... when they lift that hood and you can see that 24k gold reflecting off of their confused face...

The radium tank is really nice, I kind of wanted to do a dual tank for washer fluid and expansion tank like this:

yep, you almost dont mind paying the 250 because it seriously is a beautiful piece of art. Mind you, you will also have to pick up some of the hose ends if you want to use with OEM radiator.

Looks like you will need adapters too, the hose ends look small in comparison to ours.

Yes, the AEM is run through a gutted intake box I want to do on under tray but I still need to do a battery relocation and swap out the coolant reservoir before I can do that so I am saving it for winter and went for a sleeper look.

The corner piece is offered by Scott, at Rx8performance. Its a trio canister setup 1L per container. I use it for washer fluid, catch can, SOHN reservoir. I have never seen another 8 with it in person, and only one on this forum. It was an I have to have it when I came across it.

We have a local guy with that canister setup in black and the quality is marginal at best. Plus the guy who makes it is a crook so that makes it that much less appealing.

I respectfully disagree Scott, I have had nothing but great results with his products. I understand his past discrepancies turn a lot of people off. But I have seen nothing but great effort in his customer service and quality and wish people would take it in stride and judge what he is doing now.

Regardless to each their own, this is mine and I'm satisfied with it.

Thumbs up

I've seen many cars around here(FL) with that canister setup.
I like them.

I am sure the people he stills owe money, parts, damages, etc. too feel differently about it than you do. Especially since people are buying his products and making money for him now. But if you have never been ripped off by him then of course you are cool with him.
