I have been Reading this thread like many others today and here's the thing, never once was it mentioned in his sales thread that the liner or rain gutter had to be removed to fit this tank, please go read the sales thread, and point out where that was mentioned, that is what I believe cij911 has an issue with and others will as well, when you buy something you want it as advertised in pics and sales info ...that goes with anything that goes for sale, on MBW, PSC or even the real world

I removed the rain tray and under hood insulation, it increased the noise but also increased the in cabin fumes! Has anyone else noticed this or is it likely I have an exhaust leak?
I am also running no cats so the car is generally stinks when your outside anyway.

you have an exhaust leak. I ran Q16 race gas with full exhaust for awhile and with the windows up didn't smell anything. Now with the race exhaust on dumping right below me it was bad

Ok, I see what cij911 is talking about. He is right. There are some issues with this kit. The tank itself is great. But, the other parts for the kit is an issue.
I appreciate a vendor like FT-P putting this kit together. We need more vendors like him to provide products. At the same time, the product should be more "refined" (especially for this group). I think if someone that has ordered this kit wants their money back, they would be justified and it would also show great customer service on the part of FT-P if they honored such a request.
As for me, I will plug along and make this kit work. I will post pics once I start the project.

I guess when you sell a complete knock off and rip off other peoples designs, karma comes to get you! As they say......Karma is a biach! Save a dollar on a cheap coppied knock off and run at your own risk! Be glad it is not a part that does engine damage, you will be SOL getting that resolved by a fly by night company!

You have vendors here selling pulleys that destroy cranks and this is the battle you choose to fight?

Ughhhh problems within the first 10 minutes... After removing the 10mm nut holding the cabin air box, removing the box and filter (gently pull up and out), and then removing the clip by removing the 4 10mm nuts holding the frame to the firewall, I was ready to do a test fit 
....
Not so fast....wow this is tight....hmmmmm is this going to fit ???? I was able to get the IC tank in the new found space, but had Steve forgotten about the hood and the plastic rain gutter ??? After a few minutes of trial and error using molding clay, it was obvious this was not going to work - ughhhhhhhhhh.....Unless you want to remove the rain gutter tray (not sure what MB calls it) or cut the side off, this tank wont fit! No where in the "guide" is this mentioned, nor was it mentioned when we were ordering the kit.
So now what ???? Well I will just have to return the entire kit to Steve / FT-P ....
Caveat emptor....

If you were planning on building them and selling at a realistic price I would probably support your cause.

Former Vendor of MBWorld
Guys Please Get this thread back on topic. I have handled the situation with CJ911.
Any other Negative remarks are going to be handled by mods.
Moving forward:
This was the first run of the tanks, Of course there may be some small bugs to work out and we are basing those off of installers remarks.(Similar to how manufactures update items on newer models of cars.) However the tanks work, and fit as described. Some minor modification is needed for fitment which we did not include in the description.
If anyone who has not purchased one wants to challenge the fact the tank does not fit as CJ911 claims it does not, We will post a video of it installed and running on the car, opening and closing the hood. We have one on our car for the last few thousand miles. Its the one the jigs were built off of and those are mirror images of the one installed without issue.

Always crying to the mods. The only people that should be crying to the mods are the other sponsors your rip off and the members you rip off. You are always gonna be a bottom feeder bro.

Well it seems this situation can be resolved by the seller revising his description of how said unit is actually installed. Maybe people will understand?Guys Please Get this thread back on topic. I have handled the situation with CJ911.

Restocking fee!
Steve seriously, take it out of your moms mailbox, throw it on her living room floor or garage floor, and sell it to the next unsuspecting sucker! LOL, 30% restocking fee! Your a joke bro! Looks like the tide is turning on your little backyard scam of a business!

CIJ911 you should save the photos and if it does end in dispute, take it up with your CC. Paypal will take at least a month.
This looks like the Home Shopping Club IC Box.
