Oil catch can?

[fondupot]

So what is the better or more advanced product, RX or E2-X?

 

Right now. E2-X.

Easy, E2-X

Does Elite supply enough hose for either mounting locations?

Yes, you'll receive 6'+ of mounting hose. Enough for mounting at the Master Cylinder Location or Spare Battery Box location.

E2-X !!

+5 to the E2, in addition to being good at its job, the install is super easy, and access to the CC for dumping waste is convenient at either mount location.

Is there an E2 Utlra can? From the way the website is written, it seems that there is an E2X single, double, and utlra. Or is the description under the E2 ultra section also in regard to the E2X double can?

So spent a lot of time today (perhaps some of that on work time. lol) trying to figure this out. I spent 1.5 hours last night going through a E2 install on a 2010 Chevy Silverado. The information I got was either conflicting, didn't make sense to me, was for 2014+ or didn't work on my truck for one reason or another. After 12 emails to Elite Engineering today and some of my own homework I was finally able to install it. I've created a how to thread here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/180365-how-to-catch-can-on-l9h-62l-engine-pre-2014/

So in reading the website, I just found the explanation as to why my glass catch can is always blasted with oil - like someone took an air hose at full pressure to the oil inside. Since I drive aggressively and tow quite a bit, that catch can is in a zero-vacuum state more often than not. I wondered about that when I was researching catch cans. Now I understand what the 3rd hose is for on the dual.

 

This may sound counterintuitive, but I wish those had the regular barbed fittings instead of AN fittings. I'm all about simplicity. Would be nice to buy just the Elite can and throw it on my current setup with clamps, without having to buy anything extra. Never used an AN fitting in my life, so maybe it's easy and I just don't know it .... but I like my simple squeeze-clamps. Function before fashion.

shooting from the hip here, has anyone actually installed two of these catch cans in a row to see how much the first one didnt catch?

Not on this forum, but a guy on an F150 forum did this. There is a link to his "experiment" in this thread some pages back. Bottom line is the cheapo can he had plumbed in line was catching A LOT less than the Elite can he had plumbed.

 

And he did it both ways. Cheapo can in line first, then Elite can next. Then he flipped them.

 

Maybe someone will repost the link...

It would be interesting to see how much the first one doesnt catch, this would be using 2 elite cans and not the cheapo units...Elite, how about you send me a second one(bought the first one already) and let me try this experiment ;)

I'd like to find out if the hoses that come with the E2-x have the AN fittings attached or if it's simply just the hose?

Where are you guys getting these cans from? I've been seeing them price from $30 to $350. Seems like a pretty wide range in price. Is there one that a guy is suppose to stay away from or are they all pretty much equal? I have a 2015 GMC Serria All Terrain with the 6.2 love it so far but have been doing so reading and found the catch can thing coming up often. Do I really need the $400 one? Also any recommendations for a truck?

We supply the hoses separately on the E2-X Catch Cans. They can be a little troublesome to push into the AN fittings, but we found if you run the hose ends under hot water, it really helps to assemble the two.
