Message	160$ oem pan / 50 used then 650$ in moding it. Sure is a great thing, but it seems hard to cash out that much. I think anyone could take their pan to a race shop and have it modded to equal for 650$ I'm no CEO of a large companey, so i was shocked by the price. If the pick up tube and pan were designed deeper I could understand, but there not. If it was finned for cooling, and it was tapped readdy for oil temp sensor, then id shell out 550$ mayyyyybe 650$ with those features. Unless theres later versions to be released with those im not interested at that price. Click Sig if your bored
