Didnt think it was worth the risk for the sake of a coupe hunge. Only changing to the metal pan because its supposed to makes it easier/cheaper for future survicing. Probably a bit of added strength aswell if I hit something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic pan is attached to filter and is a throw away item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic pan is attached to filter and is a throw away item.Correct but the plastic pans have come down in price, they can be had for $120ish trade.You would need to service the box a few times to recover your cost so it just depends on how many kays you do and how long you intend to keep your car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
