KEEP YOUR STOCK TANK! Summit fuel cells are meant for drag and ocassional circuit track racing, they arn't certified in anything (other than the more pricey ones that are NHRA cert.) Unless you plan on spending 1k + or compromising your safety, just stick with your stock tank. I've also heard of some people upgrading to I believe N13 pulsar tanks because they are smaller, but don't quote me on that.

You can buy them off of Jegs and several other sites.

If you are going to daily drive the car. Aftermarket fuel cells are not going to be worth all the hassle. If by chance you still decide to go with a fuel cell, you have to remake fuel lines for the car.

I am curious how much are they, what are their availability, installation/etc...

My tank currently sucks, when I corner, I believe the tank gets starved or something in some way as the fuel needle goes scarily very very low almost zero and sometimes zero while cornering... I read that only way to prevent such fuel starvation is a fuel cell. Anyone able to enlighten me on the subject.
