"Safety

1) Drive carefully at all times, and if you run over any foreign object on the road pull over and check the valve for any damage or leak.
2) N-Series valve (with nipple to accept hose) is not recommended for passenger cars with low clearance."

I'm going with nope.

I had one on my old Wrx. I loved it. But I did have a skid plate to protect it from a hit of some kind.

I have one on my 9, its been there since 2007. I have an undertray though so I'm not concerned about any foreign objects damaging it.

I don't get why anyone who runs without an undertray would be worried about using this product if they are not worried about the oil filter. The oil filter itself is exposed just as much.

It works great. I have had one since my first oil change in 2006. Just make sure you install it with the drain facing the correct way with a new washer.
