"Satin" basically looks like brushed aluminum. If you want black, you need to order black. It's kind of a semi gloss black, like what I show in post #172 above.
Yes, the best thing to do is remove the catch-can to drain it in case there is any oil spilled during draining. The quick release hose fittings makes it easy to remove and reinstall.
Nope. I've had it off multiple times doing injectors, catch can, etc. It slides out no problem. Don't be worried about scratching it...it won't scratch. It'll feel like its sticking, just keep wiggling it out.
Can anyone tell me if the Remote Mount for this UPR catch can is necessary at all? I read it helps with condensation, but what is the real advantage; More oil caught??
The real advantage is it's solid mounted and the hoses and mounting location help with the condensation and coalescing. In turn collecting more oil and improving protection.
I went with the model mounted near the RH side of the radiator. I also mentioned earlier in this thread that you guys do not need to take the plastic shroud off the top of the radiator. You can easily install the can without removing the shroud as shown in the instructions. Saved a lot of time and hassle IMO to not mess with the shroud.
