A must have if you track at all
From Anonymous of CPA, Pennsylvania on .
A must have for anyone doing any track time. It’s a very easy install!! Without the extinguisher attached it’s very unobtrusive but with it attached, gets kind of bulky. Better to have it and not need it than need it and be standing on the side of the track watching your car burn up.
Highly Recommend

Great quality and easy to install, especially with the VAC floor adapters. Really nice finish and it was super easy to mount the fire extinguisher. Highly recommend, easy to reach, thanks VAC!
Awesome product
From Anonymous of New York, New York on .
Great product that comes with hardware.
A bit of advice for the left stud(closest to transmission tunnel) during installation in a coupe with tilting forward seats, slide the seat all the way back and tilt the seat forward as much as possible. This will allow you to get the nut started on the thread.
Easy to install, sturdy
From Kurt H of Alamo, California on .
Installed in an e46 330. Install took 15 minutes, including bolting my extinguisher bracket to mount. Mounted extinguisher does not interfere with seat or touch my right leg, even with seat in lowest position. I feel much better having this close by rather than in the trunk.
Better than other solutions out there, in my opinion.
Effective Solution for the E46 M3
From ndyvidual of Boston, Massachusetts on .
Well made and simple product. Some additional info that I couldn't find elsewhere on this product (hope it's useful to others):
-You can install this mount just by removing the front bolts and leaning the seat back enough to clear the studs.
-There are different bolt patterns so different extinguisher brackets can be used. And can certainly be drilled.
-It is symmetrical so if can be mounted on the driver or passenger side.
-If you have WeatherTech (WT) molded floor mats, it will not fit without trimming your mats. I use the WT just on the driver side where much of the floor traffic occurs and installed this mount on the passenger which has an OEM mat still in place.
-The seat back can be pushed forward and up and clear the fire extinguisher with no problem.
-The seat does not hit the extinguisher when slide up until it reaches near the end of its travel.
-The mount does not rattle, though the safety pin for the extinguisher may. a small bit of silicone has silenced mine and doesn't impede its removal.
-Passengers have not kicked or hit the bottle when riding in the vehicle. Small kids with short legs may if their feet don't reach the floor.
Okay once I got it in.

Had some issues with install. The mount hit the transmission tunnel in the passenger foot well so I couldn't get the nut for the seat bracket threaded at first. I got a few threads and ended up tightening it up. It held through a track day but I didn't have any passengers so hopefully it continues to hold. Other than that it looks good and is easily accessible.
Great product

As with any VAC parts the quality is tip top. It really looks great in the car. I used some adhesive remover to remove the instruction logo from the extinguisher which looked even better. If this is for a street car and you use sliders/are not a tall person you will need to either modify your seat adjuster (bar that attaches to the seat rail). Or you will need to mount your seat without a slider. With my seat mounted as forward as I need it I can no longer adjust the seat rail. I am 5"10
