I had a cobra pan on my 428. I loved it, looked cool had the wow factor. It worked well. It didn't leak. When I dropped in my 427 I started thinking about the potential of a rock or road debris fracturing the aluminum pan and causing a catastrophic failure. Aluminum breaks pretty readily and more often than not it happens quickly.

I opted for the $650 Aviaid pan as a cheap way of insuring it didn't happen.
