The New UPR Plug n Play™ Single Valve Catch Can System for all 2014 to Present 5.3L and 6.2L Equipped Silverado and Sierra Trucks. By popular request we have decided to come out with a full UPR Plug n Play™ Single Valve Catch Can System. Offering the most advanced patented internal design with multiple stages and dual diffusers and coalescing filters. This is not just a billet catch can with an internal cylinder and a scraper skirt like all the other manufacturers offer. We incorporated our top of the line Patented Diffuser System that will deliver the best performance hands down and never have any capacity problems or need to be an oversized can. The new UPR Plug n Play™ Single Valve Catch Can is specifically designed to be run hot and deliver the BEST coalescing and condensing. This was done to force the moisture and condensation that collects in the catch can to evaporate instead of building up and overflowing your catch can and requiring it to be drained all the time and wasting time making messes. This is how we are designing all of our new catch can systems to require much less maintenance and deliver even better performance. We have been continually improving our catch cans for years and we have improved our internal filters in all our diffusers in an effort to be sure we continue to lead the way in oil separators. We are very concerned with making sure you have the most reliable maintenance-free catch can system available. Nobody wants to have to keep checking the level in their catch can. The Kits all Feature Continental 300psi never collapse insta-grip braided hoses and not some cheap rubber fuel line or heater hose. Most importantly there are no clamps or cheap flimsy connections. We only use OEM Plug n Play™ direct replacement fittings to give you a system that will meet or exceed your every expectation. The very best part is everything is pre-fit and ready to go not just a roll of hose and a bunch of bagged fittings. I have included the links to the UPR website and put the kits on special on the website so all you have to do is just purchase them directly without any hassle or headaches. Normal retail is $249.99 and we have them on introductory pricing special of $199.99 The kits come complete with all the UPR Braided Lines and UPR plug and play™ fitting for a complete installation of the Brand New UPR Plug n Play™ Single Valve Catch Can System with Check Valve. http://www.uprproducts.com/chevrolet-gm-billet-oil-catch-can-single-valve-silverado-62-14.html http://www.uprproducts.com/chevrolet-gm-billet-oil-catch-can-single-valve-silverado-53-14.html -
I have had the Elite Engineering E2 Catch Can on my 2014 Silverado for about 8100 miles and just performed my first oil change since it was installed. (Don't worry, I use Mobil 1 Annual Protection). Shocked is an understatement of my reaction when I discovered how much oil my truck is burning. After seeing how much was captured by the Catch Can, I am very glad I decided to install one. I have run a catch can in my Camaro for several years and it captured far less oil between changes so I was very surprised with how much was captured this time. After doing this first check - up on the catch can, I now plan to check the can much more frequently (every 2,000 miles or so) to see how much is being captured. I will be uploading some additional follow up reviews on the catch can and how it is performing. Overall, I am completely satisfied with my purchase and will be purchasing from Elite Engineering again. Note that this engine is shared among many GM platforms such as the Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Suburban, Tahoe, Express, etc.- 6 replies

To my fellow Enthusiasts, For everyone to understand about catch cans and condensation. Certain companies promote catch cans with all the water or moisture they collect and that gives honest manufacturers a BAD RAP. I will share the fact that most of the condensation / moisture a catch can collects is from the catch can and not the engine. Engines heat up so fast they force the moisture to evaporate and thus do not contribute much to the condensation / moisture in the catch can that gives it that Starbucks look. The catch cans actually introduce more moisture and create a steam or cleaning effect on the engine internals. Thin wall and welded catch cans will generate a lot more condensation / moisture as the thicker walled sturdier construction catch cans will not suffer from the same extreme temperature sweeps. Thicker catch cans will hold temperature better while driving as the thinner units will cool quickly allowing them to continually produce condensation / moisture while driving and this will fill the can quicker requiring additional maintenance for no reason and create a lot of wasted time. The design is critical to how much oil will be separated before getting into the intake tract and combustion chamber. I have been watching many re-sellers make claims that create fear or post millions of DI pictures of engine failures and giant bottles of Starbucks looking fluids collected. The proper design of a catch can is to be able to keep the catch can hot enough to evaporate the condensation / moisture and still stop all the oil. Most catch can manufacturers run the coolest location possible to hide the lack of efficiency and this is why so many catch can manufacturers show all these pictures of the Starbuck's looking Mixture. The fuel that gets by the rings or gets collected in the catch can is harmless and can be burned in the combustion chamber without any negative effects. The biggest thing we see with all the late model engines is how much stronger the PCV system function is and how much more oil they introduce and scavenge through the PCV to be ingested into the intake tract and combustion chamber. Please keep in mind that a catch can is an oil separator. Larger catch cans collect 2x to 3x more condensation / moisture being mounted in cooler locations and that feeds the sales pitch and bad rap for catch cans that are mounted and function properly in hotter locations than others. I have worked hard watching many so called experts regurgitating things like send it to Blackstone and wait till you see how much they collect in the winter etc. LOL, these guys are selling something that has nothing to do with the normal PCV function. A PCV system mainly introduces oil and fuel into the intake tract and combustion chambers. Either way, this is just to inform the readers about the reality of a Catch Can / Oil Separator's function and I'm not here to get into a he said she said and would just like to state the facts. 50yrs of racing experience and engine building with the very best in the industry has allowed us to test and see these things and it was the reason we have been able to continually discover many variables about the PCV that many still haven't figured out. We're not just some aftermarket street car guys that sell products and never talk down to anyone or want them to be uneducated about our products or a products true function. We sell our Catch Cans based on the true value and function and deliver the very best hoses, fitting and components across the board. I'm not pushing any product here and just sharing the information about how critical the oil separation is and the rest of the things that get thrown in to try and sell and promote these products is nonsense. Thank you for taking the time to read this and feel free to PM any questions as I'm always happy to help you make the ( best-educated decisions ) Joe / UPRproducts
