Zr1chris, Our E2-X system will stop up to 85% of this. We are unable to stop all as some forms from the back filling of spent exhaust gasses to emulate the old EGR valves function. Now done with valve/cam timing events.


Our system addresses both points of ingestion, the foul/dirty PCV side and the fresh/clean side where most ignore. Combine this with the most effective design on the market (more than twice most others) and you have the best possible current solution.

It is easy for anyone handy with tools to remove your intake manifold and inspect your own valves. Only takes a few minutes to do and not speculate.


So, do as you personally choose. We retain a closed emissions compliant system and do not reduce, defeat, or delete ANY function of the factory system, only improve what it already does and we stop 95% plus of the contaminates present in the PCV vapors unlike the next closest design that only traps less than 50%. And unlike the vented/breather cans that ARE illegal in all 50 States and can be grounds to void a warranty. Only in CA do we not meet their CARB cert requirements yet.


Hope this helps sift through some of the inaccurate info in this thread.

Since you have time to post here. Why don't you have the time to make vehicle specific kits and the instructions to install them?

just gonna leave this here ...

no catch can on mine

[Deakins]

Are you referencing the pictures of the 117k mile engine that's got quite a bit of carbon built up or the 14k mile engine that's got quite a bit of carbon built up?

[JonD]

LMAO

[mikem2104]

hmmm, i'll have to disagree that after 117k that's a lot of buildup especially in comparison to the horror shots that are shown ... but that's ok

I run an Elite catch can on my '17 SS, very good quality product.

I have asked this same question multiple times on this forum. They have time to sit down and write an dissertation on how they have the Holy Grail of catch cans but can't take 5 minutes to write an install sheet. For this reason alone I would/will never buy an Elite product. Mighty Mouse Wild!!

People are pulling 1, 2, 5 ounces of gas/oil/water mixture out of their catch cans. The thing is, the vast majority of that would have been combusted in the cylinder, and most of the coking would have occurred when partially combusted gas/oil refluxes back out of the cylinder and onto the valves. Motors with catch cans STILL exhibit coking on valves, so how does anyone explain that?

You also have to wonder if the gas in the catch can would have helped dissolve some of the gunk that blows up on the valve during combustion. What if the water seen in the cans clings to the back of the valve and keeps oil from sticking to it. Whose to say that water seen in the winter months wouldn’t have steam cleaned the combustion chamber and valves. Could people actually be making the coking problem worse with a can? No one knows exactly. The only thing I’m certain of is that a really nice can keeps the inside floor of your intake clean for about the price of a camshaft and 99 percent of the cars I pass on the road don’t have one but somehow function just fine without any problems associated to oil returning back to the intake

I dont “yet”. Only 1500 miles. But im planning to have one.

[gmw0181]

I have 17000 miles on my mishimoto catch can. I have saved the oil in a water bottle sense I installed it. I have 6oz of oil in the water bottle so far after 17000 miles.
