$205 not bad. Just regular fiberglass, or is it plastic?
How did you mount it and what type of cutting was required? I have never worked with either of the above listed materials, how difficult would you say it is to get this installed?
Dremel with a plastic cutting wheel. (it's fiberglass, but plastic cutting wheels work well on it).
Small amounts of cutting on the front side, depending on how your headers are routing.
The moounting points are pre-impregnated (identations). Drill them out with a uni-bit

a set of these, and a few longer side cover bolts are where it mounts to
Pretty simple.
I used the forward mounting points from the rearsets to mount the back, but it's not needed, you can much more easily use those brackets in the rear as well, however I didn't have them when I first began mounting, and cut the holes too big.
Took about an hour to get the trimming done,and mounted for the full 1100 system. I think it should require less work because of the header on the stock 1100/696/796, which should leave moreroom in the front. (on the 1100 full system, you have to cut the front lip off to fit everything)
With cutting fiberglass, the key is to go fast. With drilling, use a punch to mark the spot, and drill from the outside in. Don't use a regular drill bit, it will crack the fiberglass, but a Uni-Bit will have the hole cut in no time
The most important thing, is that it's the only pan I've found that has oil-retention properties. Makes it very track/race friendly
