I've searched but there really isn't a well how-to on this w/ pics? Where do I start (nervous) I don't know what to do I sort of got an idea but I would really appreciate some input. I will delete this thread once I install it. This is the coolant catch can I bought off pirana's group buy just to let you guys know.
 
all you need to do is go from the first red nozzle to the radiator. the red nozzle in the middle is used as your over flow. hope that helps i would show pitchures but i used the bottom fitting to my radiator and left the top 2 red fittings empty looks cleaner to me. i used sum pastey plumbing pipe crap on the bottom fitting to ensure no leaking have had it on for 2 weeks of hard driving and no leaks yet. got the paste crap at home depot for 3.50
 
nope it's the other way like i said in my first post if you dont beleive me just fill the can up and flip it over the water will come out the middle :)
 
I have a question if I pull the hoses that are attached to the stock plastic coolant container will all the coolant start sputing all over the place??? Thanks I want to install this tomorrow in conjunction with my header and I'am trying to gather as much info as I can so it goes well.
 
ok ... take the stock coolant tank off and place it LOW in the engine bay... install the new one ... pull the hose from the stock piece off of the radiator and put the new one in place. Take the hose from the stock piece and hook it up to the MIDDLE fitting and pick the stock tank up. The coolant will flow down into the new tank. Your done :)
