Magnet oil drain plugs
was browsing through ebay with a "sc300" search and came upon these magnetic drain plugs. my question is do they really work? i'm thinking about getting one because i went turbo and am pretty scared that i have metal pieces in the oil pan from tapping the oil line.

Magnets do work, but not on the Aluminum from drilling your pan. You shouldnt have a problem though. They will usually flow out when you change your oil or just get caught in the pickup strainer in the pan and then lastly into the filter.
