Yes Ryan it's polycarbonate. I don't anticipate any issues considering where it's mounted but we'll have to see how it holds up.

 

PS Did you notice...there's a little oil in it already! That was after install and 104miles of hwy driving just yesterday.

My dealership said my catch can wasn't needed and wouldn't catch anything. I opened it in there shop after 2,000 miles and let it run on the floor. Lol

So, I added a second output fitting to my Original RX catch can. I had been emailing with the RevExtreme folks about the benefits of a dual output can, and they were gracious enough to send me the par

Ryan, Since you have both the RX & Elite cans you know the pros & cons of both designs....if you bought another which way would you go?

 

I stumbled across the version that Phastek is selling as well..... http://www.phastekperformance.com/2010-2013-Camaro-Oil-Billet-Catch-Can-BC-175-p/bc-camaro-zl1-catch-can-175.htm What are your thoughts on this one based on your expertise?

I've had both the Elite and RX as well. Both are good designs, I like that the Elite can unscrews so you can dump the oil out. I would give it the edge over that slight reason.

I don't have an elite, I have an RX and mike norris. I do t have a problem with either I like the RX because it's painted to match the car (AGM). I prefer the mike norris because his shop is like 7 miles away and he is a very knowledgable guy.

Thanks TJay!

 

Sorry Ryan, Somehow I had it in my head you had an Elite.

 

Decisions, decisions......

 

I like how the Elite unscrews and you don't need to fiddle with a petcock or ball valve while dangling a cup to catch the oil.

 

Are there advantages with the ports being top & side vs side/side porting on the can?

Install went flawless, just a few things I am going to tweak during the beta testing. Hoses are real loud and actually collapse from round to oval when the engines running so I want to find something stronger than the standard Goodyear Fuel hose. Also going to change all clamps (even though from how snug the hose is, clamps i don't think are needed) to pinch clamps instead of screw due to ease. Going to clean up the hose lengths and bends as well for a cleaner look. Has anyone else noticed how loud the gases flowing through the hoses are on your cans? Also, when i open the drain valves, HOLY VACUUM - I have no clue the suction was that intense!

Also, thanks for all the messages. After testing is complete (hopefully January) I will do a full write up and talk with Mr. Saikou about pricing and final model details.

Looks good. I have never seen a dual can setup like that. As for noise I haven't heard anything different with my RX can compared to before I installed it.

 

Are you planning on running a hose for the drain? Looks like it would be tricky to get a cup underneath the drain valves unless the cans were mounted higher.

thanks, yea there is a drain kit that i still need to install but there is actually a good amount of room down there to put like a good quarter to half cut water bottle as a catch when draining so i might not add the kit.

 

The reasoning behind the duel setup was i did a bunch of research and found that all the skeptics were taking the best cans and running second cans after the first to prove the first one was not as efficient as they claimed to be. most second cans were catching about a fifth of the first can. i thought, screw it - go big or go home! and did two back to back cans from one of the best manufacturers in the market to make those people happy haha.

If the hose from the intake is collapsing then the setup is very restrictive to the flow that the system normally does. Might just need to use a large tube for the cross over or something.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.
