Fumoto Engine Oil Drain Valve

I've read somewhere in previous discussions about the drain valve but not sure which one I should get. I have a 05's S with miltek exhaust. Which Drain valve should I get, the one with the nipple or the one without?

It doesn't matter which one you get as either will work fine. I chose the nipple because I like the option of connecting a hose to it to furher minimize the mess! And plus it's only a few dollars difference.

Shoe

I'm with Shoe, I have the same one with the nipple. It works out very well since i have a full size skid plate. So the 6" piece of hose i have connected can be tucked in untill i need it. Then pulled out for very easy oil draining

Just remember that the valve won't work on a car with the aux gauge pack.
