LMR has a Fluidyne for $400, they said they would let me transfer the cost of the SVE to the Fluidyne if I want to upgrade. AM has a Mishimoto for $255. I need to keep the depth to around 2" because my overflow bottle is only about 1/2" from my PS pump. I can probably modify the bracket a bit though. Both of those are 2.5" or more.
