I have the one from RCI and its going to be a bitch to install from what I can see.
I will post some pics once I get it on but it has to be modified to fit.

from nhra rule book so you can run a pan

ENGINE CONTAINMENT DEVICE:
Engine diaper or catch-pan device to capture oil and debris in
event of engine failure mandatory. Where exhaust header passes
directly under oil pan, two-piece diaper may be utilized. FWD
vehicles using OEM manual-transmission case must also have
such a device for the transmission, to capture oil and debris in
event of transmission failure. If catch-pan device is used, catch
pan must employ minimum 1-inch-high lips on all sides. Lips must
be coved or curved inward, so as to contain oil in pan. 1-inch-high
lips are a minimum. In all cases, lips must be adequate enough tocontain oil in the catch pan. Should a competitor spill oil from the
catch pan onto the track, he or she may be disqualified from
further competition until catch pan is upgraded, regardless of
height of pan lips or pan design.

So is this for all cars then regardless of MPH and ET? Sounds like a pain ... But it should cut down on downtime for cleanups after someone breaks.
