It's also a little restrictive on a high HP engine. A trick I was told is to just drill the flanges large enough to pass your fuel line through. Thus no restriction and you still get the look of the canister. No leaks either! I have a aftermarket canister I bought from a forum member. It's just a plain steel one but I was able to highly polish it with a dremel and the polishing kit. From what I understand Cobra Restorers sells the aftermarket canisters for like $60. Looks pretty good too!!! The oems can go for close to $200 that I've seen. Natch you'll need a filter elsewhere inline.
