Do you guys run with or without an expansion tank for the coolant? I have seen several soulution for expansion tanks.
What do you use? What do you think is best?

Added a photo of a solution to an expansion tank here:

I use one of these mounted low on the  front of the rad support on the drivers side.

I like CSR's catch can. I use a anodized red one and it coordinates nicely with my Hemi Orange paint.

Lots of sizes and colors available, lots of vendors sell 'em. Example: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CSI-931C/

This is what I use. It came with the car. The cap rotted out and I replaced it with one off of a jar of oysters after I painted it black. Mmmmmmm oysters. Wat were we talking about?

I found this one.  Mitsubishi. 
Around $10 from the dealer and fits nicely next to the radiator because it is extremly thin.

This was shortly after I installed it.  I have since cleaned things up a bit.  Got an "L" for the hose and painted the brackets black.  But it works!
And keep in mind, most of the time all anyone ever sees is the cap and that looks like it belongs there.

Do you still have a part number for that?
