Been down this road, as far as a TCI finned aluminum
super deep pan. PITA on speed bumps and swales, it
was lower than the Jet-Hot Y-pipe and that's saying
something. Much happier with the truck pan (steel,
with drain plug) and a standard filter kit (for trucks)
gives you the pickup deeper in the juice. Not all years
of truck have drain plugs, but you can find them. Mine
was from a '02 Silverado. Can't beat the price of used
standard truck parts.

Those trans pans with the tubes look pretty and sure,
there's cooling. Notice the utter lack of quantitative
statements in their literature. The usual "up to", blah
blah, but fact is that sitting still those tubes do exactly
squat, road draft is what they work on. And surface
area for cooling air relative to a proper trans cooler?

Thank you for the pics.... Looks as though your exhaust clamps are the lowest part of the car...
Stance is nice.... Thank you again.

my summit pan hangs just a smidge lower than my jethots on stock height 16" wheels. i gotta believe an aluminum pan cools better than a steel. only negative 4 me was the strange pan bolts.

My torque arm cross brace is low it will drag on certain things. Normally clears speed bumps

Any time . Let me know if you want better pic of the pan

Another danger are things like raised manhole covers (e.g. when a road gets rebuilt), which could catch any low sitting engine or trans oil pan.
