Anyone using an aftermarket overflow tank?

[Mrgreen94gt]

My stock one is leaking pretty badly, and I suppose there's no good reason to get another stocker if something nicer is out there. I've been looking at the Canton one since it accepts the sensor, but its $120.

Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, thanks to Snoozer I am running the overflow to the washer fluid tank like him.
Looks a lot cleaner

I'm trying to avoid that route, since I do use my washer fluid occasionally. If I can figure out how to mount it and properly hide away that sensor plug, I may try using one of those hot rod style catch cans.

BTW-I didn't think your engine bay could get any cleaner!

Thanks. I am no longer running a sensor plug anymore.

I am currently having a custom aluminum one made. When it's done I'll post pics.

I have a overflow from an old Toyota truck from a junkyard. I stuffed it in my fender in front of the drivers side wheel next to the horns. it works great, and thats all that matters, and you can't even see it....I have a fox, but you should still be able to do the same....

I considering mounting one of the aluminum ones from Summit in one of two places. Either in the fenderwell or in front of the radiator support, in the vicinity of my trans-cooler.

i have one of the summit ones mounted to my bumper. My uncle just made a overflow tank for his truck and polished it so i might start making one pretty soon.

How's the quality on the Summit one? Do you have any pics of the setup?

Its a good product, mine isnt the polished or chrome one, its just the blue plastic one. Sorry no pics.

The aluminum ones should be plenty nice then. Hell, I trusted their products enough to use their radiator.
