Aluminum Coolant Header Tank

The Canton Racing 80-282 is a direct replacement aluminum coolant header tank engineered for Subaru WRX models spanning the years 2001 to 2015. This upgrade not only provides a cleaner, more race-inspired look within the engine bay but also plays a crucial role in managing heat by optimizing coolant flow directly to the turbocharger, thereby ensuring consistent performance and enhanced reliability. Its construction from 100% aluminum offers superior durability and contributes to weight savings compared to the factory plastic tank. This coolant expansion tank boasts a 36% increase in capacity over the stock unit, which is critical for effective heat management, especially during spirited driving or track day events. Key features include a mini radiator neck that accepts the stock cap for straightforward installation, billet-machined barb fittings for secure connections, and an integrated pressure relief vent in the neck to prevent over-pressurization of the cooling system. These design elements ensure a direct-fit installation without requiring any modifications to the vehicle. User feedback highlights the perfect fit and the peace of mind offered by the increased coolant capacity. Owners have reported that the tank not only performs better but also significantly enhances the visual appeal of the engine compartment. The Canton Racing 80-282 is a valuable investment for any Subaru WRX owner seeking to elevate their vehicle's cooling efficiency and overall performance.
