Globe, do you really need a fire supression system or are you just planning on doing a Ricky Bobby impersonation?

For 300 bucks you can't beat the price. If you have the room and a little extra weight allowance (it's steel) I would go with this one. I'm always a fan of a little bit more can't hurt. In the formula car I am space limited so I can't use a system that is this large.

ESS makes an awesome sounding unit but the large one for tintop cars is very big and difficult to get to fit in the car. They have very cheap nozzles which look to be aluminum caps drilled with slits in them. Maybe that is all you need. Also the internal flop tube which needs to be there in case of a rollover is just cheap radiator looking hose. I wonder how long that hose can sit in the foam before it hardens and then no longer flops? Anyway the look and feel of the ESS vs. the safecraft unit was like with ESS everything was there but like made in china. It hopefully works fine and no one else has a user rechargable system.

Mike,
Another datapoint. I had a 3-nozzle Safecraft 10# Halon 1301 system in my old car, mechanical pull-activated. One for the jewels (shortest line), one for the engine compartment and one over the fuel tank.

Sorry, never had to test it out.
Holler if you're still struggling finding a way back to H-town.
