Definitely a 2 person operation.

Good thing I waited for a response.... definitely not adding to crank case. ;)

 

Thx

Curious as to what effect Montana's 20 below winter temperatures would have on a catch can and its contents

[Elite Engineering]

Should have not effect at all, but just be sure you empty the Catch Can a little more often in the colder temperatures.

So, I see on your website there is the original can, an E2 and an E2-X. I understand the E2 is larger than the original in terms of capacity. What does the X model add?

[Elite Engineering]

Good question.  The E2-X Catch Can has about the same capacity of our E2 Catch Can, but does include a bottom drain valve.  The bottom of the E2, like the "standard" catch can unscrews for emptying.  Both the E2-X and E2 Catch Cans have the ability to be completely disassembled for cleaning or inspection.

So the "X" just eliminates having to unscrew the canister for emptying and simply allows you to empty via a hose or other connection?

[Elite Engineering]

Yes, that's correct.  Also the E2-X has a little different internal design.  The connecting fittings are the same

There’s also the e2x ultra that I have on mine.  It’s even larger than the regular x and e2. I love mine!

Didn't know about that model.  Thanks!

Spoke to my dealer this morning after having some service work done.  Told me a catch can would absolutely void my powertrain warranty, as would any other modification.  Even a lift kit would void warranty on any suspension issues.

 

I still plan on installing one, just guess will make sure to remove and return to stock before ever taking into a dealership

I bought the replacement crankcase hose. I heated the ends to remove the connectors and used them to make the catch can connections. Nice and simple when you go to dealership.

]Does sea foam actually do anything to the DI engines?
