No offense, but it looks just like the cans they sell on ebay for $15

I wouldn't waste my money on any of those. Also the tubing they come with is likely to collapse under vacuum. It will probably work fine at first, but once it heats up a few times it will soften and collapse.

After much research, this is what I ended up with
http://www.amazon.com/Megan-Racing-M...652&sr=1-1
Very high quality unit. Was able to squeeze it in just behind the stock air box. Much cheeper than what most of you guys have been going with. Was not able to use sight glass due to space. Ran drain line under car for drainage each time I change oil. Again very high quality for price I paid. I will try and get picture of install this weekend.

Here is a picture of my final install.

I can assure you that this is a quality unit (tank itself). Yes the hose that comes with the Megan unit is garbage. In addition, I could not use the sight glass. Plumbed the drain hose down under near the oil filter to drain at each oil change. Just bearly had the room to get it in behind the air box.

EDIT* Just noticed you used fuel line for your PCV line. It will eventually collapse under vacuum. Keep an eye on it.

It shouldn't collapse.

Fuel line is what whipple supplies. It shouldn't collapse.
