This is shaping up to be the fastest idea-to-execution I've seen from people who make 370 parts. :rofl2:

Some people out there should take a few notes.

2 qts is plenty. For those of us with an oil cooler, we'd be looking at 8.25 qts capacity with a +2qt pan. I'm ok with 8 qts. If 8 isn't enough, 9 isn't going to be. :rofl2:

Sounds good so far. Add in a baffle and I'm sold. There's a lot of guys who want a larger capacity oil pan that doesn't sit lower than stock. There's this one vendor who claims to have one, but they...

Perfect. Once you get the baffling sorted out, post a pic. Also, how do you mount those?

That's kinda what I was thinking. There's not enough 2012+ Zs out there to really make a separate design cost effective, but altogether there's enough of us to make the price more palatable.

That's what I thought. :tiphat:

So assuming you got a window material that could handle the pressure, it is possible that you could make one that works for both and all 2009-2011 owners would need...

I think we just said the same thing. :confused:

If there is no window, what would the difference between a pressurized and nonpressurized metal tank?

With a metal tank, what's the issue? The window? I mean, the only difference between a pressurized and nonpressurized metal nonwindowed tank would be a gasket on the cap, right?

Could be. I've only seen pics of the 2012 setup, so I'm just thinking out loud. You might be right. Maybe there was too much of a pressure differential between the unpressurized part of the system...

Agreed.

It's most likely "OE Overkill", but it would be silly to take a step backwards.

Since I've got a 2011 with the nonpressurized system, I'm just spitballing. My guess was that they needed to increase the system pressure, but that became an issue with a nonpressurized overflow tank...

They wouldn't have made a change and spent money if there wasn't a clear reason why. These cars run hot already. If I had to guess, they wanted to increase cooling performance since they were...

you do realize that it's a little more of a pain in the *** to check fluid levels in a metal tank than a clear plastic one, right? So if there's an easy solution out there that customers want that...

:iagree:

Probably easier to put a sight tube on the side.

Satin black, no logos please. And two matching baffled catch cans with -10 inlets and outlets, and a drain fitting on the bottom.
