And...if you spend 1299 or more, you get 100 bux off
Awesome. Where’s my wish list....:)

I ordered the black one off EBay from a seller that says it will be here in 3-7 days. Everybody else including Jegs and Summit said more like 2 weeks. Plus they have free returns in case it doesn’t work but I’m sure Whipple used the same tank with all their kits and just made different mounting brackets. Ok so it was $188 instead of $125 for my “discounted price” on the stupid plastic tee but I feel that’s money well spent if it does replace that pos plastic tank. I like the tank way better than that tee.

Definitely. The two don’t even compare. Of course it’s worth a bit extra. Aluminum > plastic.

The intercooler tank came in. When I bought it, the ad stated the standard cap fit. Which I thought meant the cap from the Whipple tank. Not so. I went to the Canton Racing site and looked up the tank in their catalog. Lots of nice stuff in that 96 page catalog. They recommended their billet cap, 81-236. I looked it up on Amazon....$68.20. For a coolant cap. I looked in the Canton catalog at other tanks that called for that cap and saw some said a 99-14 stock F**d cap fit so I headed to Oreilly and asked for a 2010 Mustang coolant tank cap. Perfect fit, plus it has a big M (for Mark I assume) on it. It’s only a tiny bit of red so I figure only +2 hp. Anyway, the tank is a perfect replica of the plastic POS but it’s awesome instead of shit. The bracket fit perfect, the hoses fit perfect. And the cap was only $5.99 but I had a $5 rewards coupon so it cost me .99 instead of $68.20. I feel like I won this battle. Fffffffff off Whipple.
