I had a similar hissing from my hose on the Elite can. Strangely I noticed the hose is not perfectly round. I rotated the line about 45 degrees on both fittings and the pitch of the hissing became almost gone. So I recommend giving it a try. I only had to do this in the line from the pcv to the can.

I tried to post this the other day and it didn't stick. I had a similar problem with the hose noise after I did a PCV drill mod. Elite prvides high quality hoses with their catch cans, not just regular vacuum line. I found that rotating the hose 45 degrees on each end (PCV and catch Can ends) the noise changed pitch and was less noticeable. the hoses are not perfectly roud. Their shape affects the hissing noise, so by changing it's bend the noise changes. The noise on mine is almost gone. This is more noticeable if you do the drill mod or have a 2013 or newer v6 model due to the redesign of the PCV orifice size. More flow, more noise.

I think he means just twist the rubber hose on the barb fitting. I've got to give that a try.

I rotated the rubber hoses some on the barb fittings and it did reduce the noise a little.
Thanks. |

Did you get yours installed? Is there hissing? Just curious. I installed Elite Catchcan about 600 miles ago. I never had any hissing noise at all! I was curious about how much oil it would catch. Here is a pic. For reference, this is about 1 and a half tablespoons of oil. Just amazing BTW: I don't know why but each time I upload this photo the forum flips it upside down. Anyhow, you can see the oil regardless.
