  1. Yes, you'll receive 6'+ of mounting hose. Enough for mounting at the Master Cylinder Location or Spare Battery Box location.
  2. Easy, E2-X
  3. You would choose this part number: You would want to choose this one, part number E2X-A1SVP4-GM From the Top of the Pull Down Menu: GM Truck, 2014+ GM V8 LS - Single Valve E2-X Catch Can http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/elite-engineering-e2-x-catch-can/ The Clean-Side Separator is optional.
  4. Well said Siverado-Hareek!
  5. That's correct. Our 62L Bracket fits both the 6.2L V8 and 5.3L V8. If you order a Catch Can, you'll specify your vehicle type during the checkout process. We'll review that information and be sure the correct bracket, fittings, and hardware are shipped to you.
  6. All our Catch Cans are shipped with 3/8 inch SAE 30R7 rubber hose
  7. Gotcha, thanks, yes that's our standard Catch Can. It's the same catch can that we recommend everyday.
  8. If you recently bought a Catch Can from Apex, it's not ours, it's a copy, but it's now our Catch Can.
  9. Yes, that's a great choice. It will come with one Inlet and one Exit connection.
  10. All, I'm sorry, but I think this is getting blown way out of proportion. As an engineering and design company, our goal will always be to continue to test and try to improve our products. We have our early generation Catch Cans in place and performing very well for 12+ years. We even have some of our prototypes still on the road and performing well after 15+ years. Our own shop truck is a 2014 GMC 5.3L Sierra, and the only Catch Can ever installed is our E2 Catch Can, and it performs very well. Have we changed our design to make improvements over the years, absolutely. A little trade secret, but through testing we discovered if we machined some internal grooves into the condensing chamber, it helped to eliminate the oil creeping up the catch can sides. Also, our newer Diffusers have a sharp machined edge because about 3 years ago we determined the oil was less likely to stick to the Diffuser surface with a pronounced edge. Each of our Catch Cans, the "Standard", "E2", or newer design "E2-X" has unique features that are specific to that generation. Some customers prefer the bottom drain, some customers like the option to completely remove the bottom of the Catch Can for inspection and cleaning, some like the compact smaller size and price of the more economical Standard Catch Can. This is a perfect example of one size does not fit all. As I've stated before, All three versions are constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum with an anodized finish. All three versions utilize the same corrosion resistant Stainless Steel coalescing media in the coalescing chamber. All three versions do a great job of condensing the oil vapor, trapping, and keeping the oil inside the container. On another note, if you really don't like the Clean-Side Separator, we would be happy to offer you a refund. We always stand behind everything we design, manufacture, and sell.
  11. I would say this is a perfect example of one size does not fit all. Each of the (3) Catch Cans (Standard, E2, and E2-X) are designed with price, function, and end user in mind. All (3) Catch Cans are designed to effectively separate, trap, and contain damaging by-products that are typical in the combustion cycle. Our standard Elite Catch Can, has been an economical favorite in the industry for 12+ years and is still used by many auto tuners. It's constructed of a 3-piece design that can easily be disassembled for inspection or cleaning. This Standard Catch Can features a smaller condensing chamber and therefore a smaller overall size to allow this Catch Can to be installed in tight areas where space is limited. A great choice for port injection engines. Our E2 Catch Can has the same 3-piece design, and can also be disassembled for emptying, cleaning, or inspection. The E2 Catch Can is overall larger in size. It utilizes a larger 3rd stage condensing chamber that equates to approximately 30% more volume than our Standard Catch Can. In addition, the larger size can accommodate a choice of one or two Exit Ports. A very good overall choice. Our newer E2-X Catch Can line was introduced and designed to further combat gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, and more specifically the possibility of coking issues. It has the largest coalescing chamber of all (3) Catch Can versions. In addition, the Catch Can is equipped with a 1/4-turn ball valve located at the bottom for easy draining. All three versions are constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum with an anodized finish. All three versions utilize the same corrosion resistant Stainless Steel coalescing media in the coalescing chamber. All three versions do a great job of condensing the oil vapor, trapping, and keeping the oil inside the container.
  12. Sorry, but they are not all the same company.
  13. This is correct!
  14. Only needed on the (2x) NPT threaded fittings
  15. Very nice looking set-up! Thanks for the pictures
  16. It really gets down to appearance. Our standard Catch Cans come with brass hose barb fittings, those can be upgraded to the electroless nickel plated hose barb fittings, or we offer the Black AN type fittings for a cleaner installation and look. It's really just a matter of preference.
  17. Your order will be assembled and shipped today. Thank you!
  18. Thank you, order should be shipping within 24 hours!
  19. No, not an issue at all. You're just preventing the potential for any back flow into the Catch Can (it's a good thing).
  20. That's correct. Sorry this isn't clearly labeled on our instruction sheet for the 5.3L engine
  21. Yes, our Catch Cans come with a Stainless Steel mesh in the diffuser chamber
  22. If you order our standard Catch Can, you can let the order default to the bracket and we'll send you the correct one. The bracket we supply can be used on the master cylinder or battery box area, it's the same bracket for both locations. Thanks!
  23. We should be supplying 5.5' - 6' of SAE Goodyear Fuel Line hose with each kit. I thought that was enough, if not, please let us know and we'll update our kits.
  24. Finally a sensible answer.
  25. We have not had any issues with the dealers and our Catch Cans.
