Looking good! Could I get it without anodizing?!
Thank you!

Unfortunately we will most likely not be letting these ship without anodizing to help keep these looking pretty down the road. We worry that the outside elements will cause corrosion to the uncoated can.

I came from the Subie community where we used IAG AOS's and they were warmed via the engine coolant. This was done to help combat condensation. Did you all see no benefit in doing the same?

We currently have these being tested right now and we have a couple units out at anodizing now getting finished up. It looks like we should be able to start shipping these in about 2 months

In our very first design of this product we did look into this option. From what we gathered we did see a slight benefit in doing this. However doing so would about double the cost of this kit, add a lot of complexity to the install, and clutter up the engine bay with all of the lines. We determined that we were better off not going that route and came up with this design.

I will admit that the install of the AOS was more of a pain with the coolant lines. Thank you for the response :)

This looks pretty interesting and I'll stayed tuned for news on it.

Off topic but any update on the rear motor mount?

Would there be much advantage to having an oleophobic coating applied to the helix section?

We should have some news dropping very soon! Just finishing up some of the final touches.

We haven't seen any notable advantage to doing an oleophobic coating on the AOS system.

Would this freeze up in the winter that’s - temperature? I never got a catch can because I read people had issue the oil catch can freeze up and clog in winter time. @PRL Motorsports
