<$100. I've got a K&N CAI that relocates the stock overflow tank right in front of the battery. I'm getting ready to install an Optima with a custom billet "cage" hold-down and the tank is in the way / up too high / downright fugly.

Here are two member links. Old Group buy & Install pics. I don't know if this particular can is still available.

u can use that can for the radiator fluid, but ull have to fill it up with a funnel or very carefully. i had that one in red and sold it because of the hastle to fill it up 
if u do paint the anodized rep cap, use high temp paint, sucker gets pretty hot!

hmmm yea im not gonna want to hassle with having to 'carefully' fill it up everytime i need to...i may spare the extra and get one that is worth the money....thanks for your input!!! i was thinking of powder coating the catch can itself and using 500 degree engine enamel for the cap, would those work for this???

Looks like I'm gonna go with the "V-Racing Fuel Overflow Catch Tank" from http://www.autotoyaz.com/vfuovcata.html (The link L8R hooked us up with). From all I've seen so far, it has all the features for a good coolent catch can - Screw cap top / sight glass / vent / and it looks like you can tap in the return line from the bottom which is what we need. Unless you can hook up some sort of a siphon tube set-up inside some of the other cans, I can't see how they would function properly. Gimme a "heads up" if anyone finds another alternative with these features.
with these cans, im not too sure, it may come in pieces, meaning u put everything together. just make sure u use plumbers tape and seal everything well. before you install, add water to the container to test it... yes, u probably know this, but just a simple heads up i didnt do this when i installed my power steering can and i had hell for a week trying to patch and correct everything.
good luck on the purchase! post pics

I installed the greddy coolent overflow tank this past weekend. I was going to mount it up close to the radiator, but decided to mount it where the the K&N CAI relocated the stocker to fill in the dead space. Looks waaayyyy better.
