Second is clearance concerns, however the twins have a lot of stock undertray protection at least around that area Plastic, not metal, and I think there's a hole for the drain plug, so it's not fully covered. Again, probably being OCD, but I don't like that possibility, even on stock height cars.

I can't complain about the ease of use with the valve though. It's just two things to consider.

You never get everything out unless you do a complete flush like keep dumping oil in the top to completely flush out the system. I also have an oil cooler and you bet the oil isn't coming out of the radiator when I do a regular oil change.


I'm lowered 1 inch with the TRD Springs. Running no skid plate for 2 years and the fumoto valve with no problems. Not enough time for me to modify my skid plate to get it back on since I have aftermarket headers/turbo.


TBH I think my catback exhaust hangs lower.
