I got mine last night but did not get a chance to install it. They included a cool key chain. I do not like big key chains but this is sweet for my backup keys. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1391517704.430397.jpg

From the DIY radium page. Just a heads up on what I found.

I have small hands it is a tight fit even after unscrewing the lines. That is really the only major issue I found. There are a few other minor issues but nothing worth noting.

So you have $450 in catch cans and still use the stock battery? I'd think about how you could solve two problems at once right there.

This is still what I'm waiting for to, hopefully someone that's purchased this kit can confirm soon.

Haha yeah. Yeah I don't mind spending money on stuff I feel like I need for the car. I would like to protect my engine with the catch can for the HPDEs I am doing. I do not need a lightweight battery for any reason since I am not competing for lap times yet.........

You can get a smaller AGM battery for just over $100. You don't have to do the full Lithium with a billet tray conversion. Easiest way to save weight too apart from removing the spare and your seats.

Apparently you need one to change your catch can, lol. Besides, the car will just feel better if you ditch it.

Here's some from Big Crank. Forget the name of the OE, Big Crank just slaps a label on them. It's usually what I use.

You can also check out Braille or Odyssey. I personally have had poor results w/ Odysseys so no longer use them. You'd have to get some posts for either.
