I actually saw the car yesterday thanks to Motohead279's generosity with his time. The ECS system is very nicely made. All I have to say is that even with stock muffler, engine internals, and intake, the noise this thing makes will frighten children and small animals!! It is sick.
Nicely done ECS (PS. I have no affiliation or biases on kit manufacturer).

The best part is driving by a bus stop or people on the side of the road, throwing it in rev match and downshifting... Then watching the people jump. Maybe I don't need the horn balusters kit afterall.

I need to order one - it's probably overkill with the dry sump, but it's cheap insurance.
Do you know which lines you'll use? We obviously bypass some of it with the airbox route. Not sure where I'd tap in. Did you get one with check valves?

I don't know the routing yet, but yes I got the check valves.

My thoughts exactly - we'll be exacerbating the problem by adding boost.
Sorry for all the questions - I've been staring at the catch cans for over a month wondering what I needed to have with this setup.
Did you get the three barbs or just the two? How many check valves did you get? I called them like a month ago, but they didn't have the answers then based on not seeing the kits yet.
Thanks a ton, man.

Okay, so you got the triple barb with the dual check valves, then?
To be honest, this is the one I've had my eye on based on past experience with their cans:

Broke after a month. Started leaking all over. One of the fittings cracked off. Fit/finish is subpar for the price. Hoses/etc are cheaply constructed. There are far better options for the price.
