WAIT 7 WEEKS FOR RX DUAL CATCH CAN AND LOOKS LIKE CRAP, WITH THE WRONG BRACKET

[2013zl1guy]

RJT-SS, I did request to cancel my order (see post #167 of mine with all dates of communication).

Yesterday I finally got an email from PayPal that I got money from RX - my refund. Not sure if it was because of my request or the fact that I initiated a dispute with my credit card company. Either way, I'm happy the money is back (almost, it's stuck in paypal land instead of my bank account).

[RJT-SS]

Understood. Glad to hear your money is on it's way back.

Also to be fair, I guess my can showed up at home today. I'm told the paint is ok and all parts are there. Not exactly overwhelmed with the time to get it, but it did eventually get there. Hopefully all goes well installing it when I get back home from work.

I just got my RX can this past Friday. I ordered it 04/04. To try and get my can, I called, PM'd Tracy, E-mailed Tracy, and ultimately had to call daily the last week before it shipped.

Here's the thing - I did ALL the "non-public" communications to ensure my order was fulfilled but, I get it after 8+ weeks and it had paint issues (I ordered it RJT to match my car). The missing paint/scuff/scratch is on the can by the bracket so you can't really see it after it is installed. So, I installed it. The main reason I bought this can is because of it's effectiveness; cosmetics second. However, they did such a good paint job on my VMax TB a year or so ago, I was expecting a much better outcome on the paint.

It gets better......

The RX decal on my TB is a red R and white X which stands out really well against the TB. The catch can comes with black X instead which, on top of RJT is hard to see. No problem....I will just take off the decal.....but nooooo....the paint starts coming off with the decal!!!! Now I got a bad paint job to begin with and now a decal that looks like crap with the paint coming off underneath.....after 8 weeks no less.

I realize I can just remove the can, sand it down, and touch it up but that is NOT the point. I expected a quality product; inside and out. Didn't get that.

I know I can just return it for a refund but, at this point, I am so tired of dealing with RX that I will just leave the can alone for a while and touch it up after I get motivated enough.

I work with anyone to try and make things right, many times over, and I don't do it in the court of public opinion. However, when it gets this ridiculous, I just need to let others know.

By the way, the can is easy to install. The RX instructions are not the best but they get the idea across.

FYI - the Elite is anodized, not painted.

The biggest pain in installing it is removing the stock PCV connector. The locking mechanism on it is a huge pain especially if like mine the tab you need to move is pressed against the side and top of the engine. I had to use a fork and screwdriver to get it off. Other than that the install should be quick and straight forward.

I agree!! I had to remove a couple of the surrounding connectors to fit my hand in there. The tab on mine was in the same place. Since you have to cut the hose anyway for the install, I cut it first and it made it easier to rotate the connector so I could reach it.

I was trying to preserve the connector in case I needed to put it back to stock, but I was very close to doing what you did and that is just cutting the damn thing off. I don't understand why the tab can't face up where it's more easily accessible. Oh well. It is what it is. Catch can has been installed and that's what matters.

I didn't cut off the connector. I cut the hose where you are supposed to for the install. That allowed me to rotate the connector so I could reach the tab on the connector. I saved mine too - just in case.

Looks like you have a L99 so you install differently than me. I noticed I have a check engine light on after the install. I wonder if unrelated or I did something wrong. I am running the can without check valves.

Check & make sure you are not also leaking oil.

You do know you can buy a new tube for under $10, don't you?

With the connector? No, I didn't. I have not had the need to buy one before. Good to know....one less thing in the garage. Thanks!

Yep, with the connector. Here is the part # 12610768

Well, 5 weeks passed since I ordered two 1LE separators. I emailed him and didn't receive a response for 5 days. However, when in did get one, I received a picture of both breather a (complete) and a tracking number and he said they will go out in the morning. I still have some faith in RX and like their products. I hope these show up in nice shape and that they can work past the long lead times and slow communication.
