I have the Saikou Michi dual can kit but have yet to install it. Mr Michi is a stand up guy and sent me another kit out of pocket because mine was stolen upon delivery without insurance from USPS even responding yet on reimbursement to him. It is a great kit and quality piece. All hand made to order. With looking at multiple designs, personally, I think Saikou Michi stuff is superior than the other designs.

Holy crap! You paid $325 for this thing?!

 

imho, one of the best performing catch cans and certainly is one of the best looking - yep, it is a bit more than some of the others - I have an elite engineering can on my vette and it works well too....willing to pay more for the best looks tho, even under the hood.

SM has one of the better cans on the market. The ELite E2-X series is unequaled in effectiveness for today's GDI engines, but can't criticize the SM. Now take 99% of the other big brands and they are not worth installing no matter the cost IMHO, and anyone can test any can by installing the E2-X inline behind any other can and see what gets past the other cans, then do it in reverse to be fair and equal.

 

Really opens some eyes.

I like the sound of a dual can instead of a clean side separator like elite's but there is only one port on the clean side so I'm confused what do you do with the other side? clean side pcv > catch can> intake tube leaves the other clean side just connected directly to the intake?

I'm wanting to order one and want the nicest one that's made. Is RX the way to go, or is any others you guys would recommend?

Budweiser?

Okay, on my RXP (and I’m not saying it’s the best or that you have to have it or that they provide absolute protection from anything) dual can set up its hooked up like this. The dual port can (bigger one in picture) has a dirty side line in (center port on can) then two clean out ports, one goes to the clean in barb on the intake manifold, the other to the air plenum (you can tap and install a barb just in front of the throttle body or go to the intake port on the plenum on the passenger side) and that accounts for all three ports in the can...center for dirty in and the two outside ports are clean out. Now the small can, it takes the place of the older CSS that used to fit into the stock oil cap, actually replaced the stock oil cap. It then ran to the air plenum intake port on the drivers side. With the small can you tap off the valve cover bridge line, into the top of the small can, the side port on the small can is then routed to the same port the older CSS did on the air plenum port on the drivers side.

I had an E2-X on my 15 Sierra AT but that was totaled and I didn't get a chance to get it off before it went away.  I will be buying another for my new 18 soon.  Just gotta wait for payday!

UPR can here. Very nice can as well and quality finish and pieces. As for how well it works, well it caught a lot of stuff already so it’s done something. I also have the Elite CSS. Any of these you will be happy with.

You can’t go wrong with either of them, both really good. If I was deciding between the two, I’d probably go with UPR, their hoses and fittings are really nice. I run a UPR valve cover bridge line with my RXP system.

I went with the UPR for four reasons:

- Less expensive shipped (and discount codes are easily found online to reduce the price further)

- OEM fittings, unlike the crap Elite was using.  They are now offering OEM fittings, according to a recent Elite post

- Better quality lines than Elite uses

- I liked the design of the mount for the can better on the UPR

 

I actually couldn't find a reason to go with the Elite over the UPR once I really started looking into them.

    • Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.  
    • Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
    • you might read through the info on gmupfitter.com for your truck, to find a good power source.
    • Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally. 
    • Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
