As for the scrapers... Dropping the pan and resealing it isn't easy IMO, if I take off the pan, I'd be inclined to modify it at the same time.
A scraper isn't anything magical, really.. more of a "since I'm in there". I don't think you would honestly see a difference either way, by itself. But, I'm no engineer.

I was wondering if it would fit above a splitter.

My thoughts exactly, cause my RF one is mm's off the splitter.

On a side note, I'm surprised nobody is welding cooling fins onto the pan. Ground clearance is important, but there is a good amount of airflow there which can be used for cooling.

Same here. I painstakingly mounted my OEM undertray to be sure it would fit. It's about 3mm above LOL

^ what do you mean painstakingly mounted the undertray?

with the racefab one, can you still access the drain plug with the undertray on? and i guess it's also mm's off of the stock undertray? wonder if that has any impact on anything?

Lots of clips to hold into the right position. On.... off.... on.... off... on... off. I was mostly trying to be humorous.

I guess every little bit would help. But, after witnessing what happens when you weld on these pans....not worth it.

Cooling fins on the pan wouldn't help a whole lot unless you made it out of aluminum. And even then, meh. Upgrade the cooler.

who's had quantified success with an oil cooler? just looking for some added protection of a bolt-on. guy in a different thread said the map one did nothing.

MAP one helped my car. Maintains oil temp <210*. Prior oil temp date was the oil got so hot, the oil pressure light would come on at idle when idling after a session (no actual temp date lol).

Coolers are basic physics. Increased surface area means greater cooling capacity. The stock cooler isn't bad but pretty much every kit out there is better.
