Elite Catch Can for 5.3

[acc412]

I'm running the Elite E2 single inlet/outlet with check valve and CSS.

Nice set up. I mounted mine on the windshield wiper bracket.

I've had mine there and on the brake booster. Current location is the easiest access for me to dump the can.

Interesting.. Did you use the supplied hose or did you buy your own? And if you did use the supplied hose, any hissing noises?

I went ahead and bought 250 psi locally and installed it. The stock hose is definitely softer than the hose I used. This is my third different catch can on 3 different trucks. I've replaced the hose on all 3 installs.

Ive got the ex2 w/ css single port. Bought it after doing a lot of research. I didnt want to cheap out and figured its a one time investment, might as well spend the money for peace of mind. Installed it on the brake booster and after the first drain there was already oil/gas/condensation build up. I installed mine at 4k km I wish I did it sooner! I would highly reccomend the e2x, i would buy another in a heartbeat. Also it was easy to install, 30 mins tops after fightong the hose and fittings to seat properly.

Was the CSS decided upon based on your research? I'm sold on the e2x but not yet convinced on the additional apparatus. It seems to be more for forced induction and/or "sporty" type vehicles that are driven harder than a truck typically is. I have no problem paying for it if it is useful or a good idea. What I detect here, however, is folks getting the CSS just because it came with the kit. Maybe they didn't know the e2x can be had without?

good info to know

You’ve got to wonder where else they are cutting corners.

These are vacuum hoses they won't blow off so no need for all of the fittings and bullshit. I have an Original RX can on my boosted 5.3 w/clean side seperator. I empty once a year during the oil change and I might get 5-6 oz's and my intake valves are as clean as new.

Would you have gone for the css if your engine was normally aspirated?

They sent me the wrong hose for the catch can install. After speaking with another member, they told me they received hose that was rated for at least 150PSI and i only received 35 PSI hose...

Did you specify in your order to them that you wanted the upgraded hoses or fittings?
