RX performance Parts LLC. and RX Speed Works and Rev extreme are all the same co. The Director of R&D is Tracy Lewis. Check out the youtube videos that he does.

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

Now I'm confused. After further research, it appears you are correct. But someone posted here previously that "Speedworks" was an impostor company selling knockoff RX cans made in China. Elite Engineering agreed just yesterday on this point when they quoted my post summarizing this point.

Ok so this is the thread from another forum that was posted on this site indicating that the RX brand has been hijacked by imposters selling Chinese made knock-offs under the name RX speedworks. Read the 2nd post:

Also interesting, which I missed the first time reading through this thread, is that RX has made a deal with Elite Engineering to use their design? Elite Engineering, can you confirm?

I bought a knockoff RX can as I stated in earlier posts from September. I am catching the same amounts as others here so I am not too worried, can is holding up well after 6 months.

 

HOWEVER, since I am obsessed with piece-of-mindness and knowing what the inside is like, I am a fan of Elite's design of taking off the bottom portion and being able to see the interior of the can and empty it just like that so I might consider one in the near future.

 

Sorry, but they are not all the same company.

 

Is it possible to order JUST a CAN with AN fittings? Since I have the hoses in place it would mean just a simple swap out of the can.

Fondupot, EXCELLENT video and understanding!!!

 

 

I can verify that speedworks is the knock-off site. The original RX Performance website (www.RevXtreme.com is down right now as it will be redirected later.

 

Speedworks is just 2 ex employee's that went on their own selling cheap Chinese knock-offs from their house. They have even copied Tracy's how to videos.

 

Elite Engineering has the latest licensed designs for these systems designed just for GDI engines, and Scott has been in direct contact with tracy the designer at RX Performance Products, LLC.

 

(to verify you can email them direct: [email protected] and the RevXtreme email still works as well.

 

Anyone that has any questions on the correct system or any installation or technical support, etc. email direct: [email protected] and I will be happy to help.

 

Orders are direct through Elite Engineering and the E2-X and E2-X Ultra are the latest designs that prevent the issues GDI experience.

 

Cheers!

Tracy, is that you? I just saw a similar comment on my youtube video and wanted to come post it in here to clear up any confusion on the Rx product lines.

Thats the correct one fondupot!

 

After the speedworks copycats started selling the cheap China knock-offs (they are pressed together, the concern is they may come apart from vibration, etc.) RX stopped selling direct until they can resolve this.

 

But the good news is Elite has the latest design and technology with their E2-X line (just released recently).

 

If anyone needs technical info on GDI and just what the issues are, how to perform manual intake valve cleanings, what GM has done to address the issues, etc. let me know. Glad to share.

Ha... Gotcha. I figured if it was a knock off it was doing it's job because the valves are absolutely clean as can be. Thanks for all the info.

I now how DI works and why this is an issue, curious about the manual cleanings, GM response, etc. I have the Elite can bookmarked, itll be the next thing to go on the truck. Im already at 40k miles though.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
