Extra capacity & baffling for parts & labor? Just do it.

Shhh! I was gonna suggest he buy my oil pan so I can get a moroso....

If I had to replace it, I would definately be upgrading. If you plan to do any agressive driving, might as well upgrade now and know it's ready to with stand more beatings.

Unless you are doing some serious road racing just stick with the OEM one. Hit up the junk yards and find a good one, then put the money you saved off not buying the Moroso into upgrades, or taking the GF out to dinner (or whatever). That will keep her off your back for a few days.

IMO I would get an oil cooler before I started to worry about an aftermarket pan.

This mod is a waste of money for the average dsm with a 50trim.

morrosso pans are like 500 bucks. and only for the 6 bolt.
yeah they are fantastic, but #### all that. 500 bucks is going somewhere else for me.

for 60 bucks at dsmmotorsport you can get an evo 3 oil filter housing with the provisions for fat thermastatically controled lines to an external oil cooler.
for
200 bucks or less you could have a big boy oil cooler setup including the price of the filter housing and lines.

the obx morrosso knock offs look perfectly identical to the morrosso. but they still are 250 plus like 30 for shipping.

get an external oil cooler,
and a stock pan.
there is a guy on talk or tuners selling pans with a -8 or -10 an fitting welded on for a sweet oil return setup. think he wants under or around 100 for them.
