Default How crucial is the stock location coolant overflow tank?

Been looking around and thinking about changing out the coolant overflow tank over the summer, and just wondering what some people think about the MMR relocation kit, which gets rid of the stock style large reservoir for a smaller canister style overflow tank that can be mounted anywhere. I just though it would clean up the engine bay and make things look slightly cleaner and more symmetrical.

http://modularmustangracing.com/--->products--->modular engine components--->between 1/8-1/4 down the page.

Looks like this:



Its looking to be either that or this radiator overflow tank from lethal...



Let me know what you all think.

I would get the bottom one over the top one. Position is pretty crucial. The factory rezzy has to be the higher point in the cooling system. It allows air to bleed off.

Its good that you said that. I mean that tank I can mount anywhere, and would probably mount it somewhere close to where the stocker was, but it would be much smaller and less noticeable. Just some food for thought.

Its a pieced together kit done by MMR. Moroso doesnt make a kit. And CP, I'm getting moroso cam covers and one of these two kits for my car over the summer to clean up the engine bay.
