1. I like the one I have: ebay ADD W1 replica for $40. Pulled 2-3oz out already in less than 500 miles.

2. I made a bracket from metal stock to mount on the brake booster bolt. I have no problems with dipstick access.

3. NAPA/Carquest transmission line is more than adequate. I went to my local hose shop (you probably have one too) and got some gray cloth braided line for about the same cost ($4/ft). Their trans line was $2/ft but the line I got looked and felt killer. I had to have it. Basically, check your local hose shop first.

4. Since I put on a CAI, I was curious about the 'clean side' tubes reverting oil back into the intake tract. I've checked the inside of the tubing several times, including after several 0-80 WOT blasts in succession. I also tow regularly. Not a smidgen of oil in the tubing or on throttle body. Because of that, I believe the clean side separator is not necessary (for me anyway).

Good info. Thanks!

I just bought the dual outlet E2-X and two check valves from Elite Engineering. I'm going to be putting this on a 2017 Sierra SLT Crew Cab 6.2L with a Magnuson TVS1900 Supercharger and a Black Bear Tune. I might end up doing water/methanol injection or straight methanol injection later on down the road.

I have to say, Steve at Elite Engineering was a pleasure to work with, and he was VERY responsive via email. I was getting replies to my email questions in under two minutes today! Thanks Elite!

Can't wait to receive the product so I can install it ASAP. I should have purchased this immediately after buying my truck, but I only have 4,100 miles on it, so it's probably fine. But for everyone else out there, don't wait because there is truly no point in waiting. It's a necessary mod whether you'll be stock or will be doing engine upgrades...and it's something that can be removed and used on a different vehicle later on.

He was great with me too.....very fast and responsive. I have 15,000 on mine (bought used) but hope to still get great benefit from this

I've got the hissing noise with the hose they provided too, and a little bit of ovaling in the house when the truck is running. Didn't you ever replace yours?

It hasn't annoyed me enough yet but you know what they call tax return checks? Car parts lol.

Lol so true. Thinking I'm gonna get a new toolbox though!

I actually just picked up some transmission line the other day, gonna install it tomorrow and see if it helps.

Nice. I was going to pick up some 350PSI line but haven't gotten the chance yet. Its also a pain the rear to re-install the lines.

I literally emailed them and they acted like what I was saying was the craziest thing they've ever heard. And since then I've emailed twice and haven't received a response...

Yeah same thing i got. Maybe if they read the forums more they'd realize that the hose they provide is insufficient.

That was the issue with my 2017 truck too, AND with my previous 2013. The basic rubber hose supplied by Elite is a joke. It will collapse and hiss with the vacuum experienced in those lines. Love the can, hate their hoses.
