The metal one, worth every penny. That plastic piece of crap broke twice on my engine.

Maybe you didn't read that correctly. SS and billet aluminum connector piece with SS hardware. I have one and can attest to its quality. Definitely an upgrade for some stupid plastic piece that can strand you and take out your engine.

Looks like its time for a pump as well , for a fill from dry on my 996.2 , it took almost 6 gallons. (3 CSF radiators )
So three jugs of concentrate coolant and 3 jugs of distilled water. I use the Porsche coolant,
its good stuff and its 1 time every 80K or so replacement for me..
I pre-mix in a 5gal bucket then I use the vacuum lift to fill. (I cant even imagine trying to do this anymore without it, I even use it on my jeep. )
I put the mixed remainder back in one of the jugs for any small top offs needed later.. it doesn't go bad on the shelf...

I haven't had a chance to remove the airbox yet to take a look--getting prepped for big SB party (big Eagles' fan here) so I haven't been able to get any more info from the car yet.

Its 30 sec with a screw driver and a13mm on a ratchet to remove the air box....stop making excuses and get to it.
