I have one of the RevX cans and it works great but at idle it sounds like pennies in a tin can under my hood and people give me odd looks.

Im ready to buy something different... anyone able to guarantee me 100% their Catch can does not make a rattle/pinging sound ?

Yeah, mine is doing the exact same thing

100% Guarantee you will NOT have that problem with the Elite Engineering Catch Can.

Does the Elite can work with the Ken Bell?

That's nice and all, but that doesn't help those of us with the "old design".

I know I'm a skeptic, but I have a hard time buying that or the "new design"

Looking into the Elite Do they make a yellow one ?

We don't (not a lot of demand for yellow). We can always take one of our raw aluminum cans and get it anodized any color you like, but it's typically not very cost effective to finish only (1) piece.

Just PM me and you can send the can back for a FREE upgrade to swap in the new features. I'll even cover the shipping back to you. The original RevXtreme closed Feb 28. 2010 but the products live on. RPE has been selling the cans w/out permission and it appears they are closed now, or at least don't answer the phone or return calls. They are named in an upcomming infringment suite as anyone else that "copies" the protected design.


I am the original designer of all the RevXtreme products, and the latest design incorporates a poly PCV/checkvalve that does not rattle and closes completely to prevent any back-flow.

The can has a provisonal patent and is filed w/reciept.

As I have for the past 4 years, the challenge is still open for ANY other can to match the functionality side by side on the same car, same test runs, everything identical to prove this. It is as easy as putting a small clear inline fuel filter between the can outlet & the intake manifold vacuum source. Any can that lets some vapors through will saturate the filter elemnet...and I have test (and in the past used & sold) mort every popular brand side by side. In fact I know of no company that has done as much testing to prove this.

The ONLY other can to equal the oil seperating ability is a brand called Saikou Micchi, and allthough it equaled my design, it lacks the following features:

Integrated PCV/checkvalve that is 3 times the cost of the original metal one, but has no rattle and prevents any reversion through the can. Something no other can has.

It is easier to install with all brackets redesigned as well.

It now has an integrated drain tube (3' long) to allow the user to simple put a drain pan down & open the valve. No mess, no dissasembly to clean any filter material.

Most any color you would want and new lower prices.

Detailed diagrams for most any configuration, and the FI model is only $20 more.

Detailed instructions for YOUR car, not generic "one size fits all".

All parts are cut on a CNC water jet and brackets as well, then stamped for exact fit.

And one of the most important features, the customer service those in the years past came to know:

Tech support via phone or email most any time needed. (something that disapeared with RPE that has been selling the old design w/out permission).

Any that have dealt with me personally in the past know this first hand, weekends included.

A wide variety of dealers nationwide that are supporting vendors on this site and most of the other popular forums.

So any questions feel free to PM me for any info needed.

I know I'm a skeptic, but I have a hard time buying that or the "new design"

The new design is real.....ask me ANY questions, this is my design and it IS protected, and I'm done being the "nice guy" helpping everyone that has competing products that I have always posted their good traits and quality, and how well many work (all the cans advertised on this site work VERY well, but none equal this design, and the competing Saikou Micchi unit) the ability to catch nearly ALL the oil as the RevX design does.






And the appearance is an important factor to the potential buyers, but look on Ebay and see some AWESOME looking cans that are no more than a empty can with 2 fittings installed. They will catch oil (as a beer can will) but let far to much through.

Also, if anyone ever has an issue, they know how quick I turn around and address them.

So, even if you are purchaing another brand and need help with the configuration from street to all out race, I am here to offer help asking nothing in return (Mike Norris, Elite, CCA, and many other owners of these quality cans know this from past experiance).

So here is some of my Bio & Qualifications:


Over 35 years of performance engine building.

Trained at Reher Morrison Pro Stock engine building with the certificate hanging on the wall.

3 years of schooling in blueprint reading, drafting, and technical drawing.

3 years schooling as a machinest on lathes, mills, surface grinders, etc.

2 years schooling in welding w/certification in cast iron pipe welding.

over 35 years experiance in machining and fabrication.

7 years owning & crew-chiefing one of the winningest teams in Big$ Bracket Racing.

2nd racer in history to win a NHRA Wally with a C5 corvette.

tear down & build performance engines daily from street to alky fueled 1,000 hp race engines.

Drivers on the team winning Local, Divisional, National & World championships in both NHRA & IHRA in several classes through the years.

This is what I do day-in & day-out.

The older style used a metal valve that was bonded with a semi-permanant epoxy so with a plyers or vise grips it twists out and just epoxy a new one in (should last 50k miles MINIMUM, to as much as 100k as it is not exposed to the heat one is in a valve cover causing coking up).

The new ones screw into place so easy, and beling poly should not need to be replaced for 100k plus miles. It is a high quality combination positive sealing checkvalve & PCV flow control.

As I have said before, I think there are a lot of good Catch Can options available to Camaro owners, SC2150 offers a nice product and has some good knowledge. I also think it's a little like comparing a Goodyear tire to a Michelin tire. Both companies have done extensive testing and feel their product has specific characteristics that make them superior over their competition, but at the end of the day it's up to the consumer to deciede which product fits their needs. Elite Engineering's Catch Can has been endorsed by many of the Auto Tuners, been featured in automotive magazines, and has been designed and tested by engineers. All parts are fabricated in our shop where we control the materials and quality of all our products.

What does the catch can actually do?

Taken from our website:

Purpose of your Stock PCV System:

The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is designed to regulate and
remove fumes from the engine crankcase, and to alleviate crankcase pressure which
could cause oil leaks or seal damage. The PCV system routes crankcase fumes into
the intake manifold where they can be burned to eliminate harmful emissions into
the atmosphere. The PCV valve controls the amount of crankcase flow volume
depending on the engine's load. With large throttle openings (high engine loads),
the more blow-by gases are produced, and the more the PCV system flows oil vapor
in to the intake manifold. The PCV valve also functions as a check valve to prevent
intake manifold flow from reversing back into the crankcase when there is a
backfire, or during periods of high manifold pressure (boost) during forced induction
by turbocharger or supercharger.

Negative Effects of your Stock PCV System: Many Camaro owners with LSX engines can testify to the amount of oil residue that can accumulate inside the intake manifold, throttle body, intake track and even the air filter during aggressive driving conditions.

There are various negative effects when excess oil vapor contaminates the intake
system from the stock PCV system - such as:

• *Throttle body and/or MAFS (Mass Air Flow Sensor) malfunction or failure.
  
• *Air filter, intercooler (if equipped) and intake ducting contamination if oil pools and run back out the intake system after engine shutdown.
  
• *Reduced octane of the air/fuel mixture, which can cause detonation and the ECM (Engine Control Module) to retard timing, thereby reducing engine power.
• 
  *Excessive carbon build-up on valves, piston crowns, combustion chambers and spark plugs. This also increases the chance of detonation and power loss.

• 
  *Increased emissions & possible contamination of catalytic converters and oxygen sensors.

Bottom line: Excessive amounts of oil vapor in the intake manifold is detrimental to
your engine! Solution: Install theE2 Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can!

Ultimate Function: The E2 Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can is designed to effectively separate oil from
the crankcase vapors, thereby eliminating all negative effects of excessive intake
system oil contamination. Our Catch Can has been engineered to remove the oil
vapor before it has a chance to contaminate your intake system.

Not all Catch Cans are created equally! Often Imitated, never duplicated. Most Catch Cans on the market are just comprised of an empty container with 2 ports. While that simple design may trap a few oil droplets, our Catch Can is designed to condense the oil vapor and trap the oil inside the container.

Our test proven design incorporates a stainless steel mesh and screening mechanism
that acts like a maze to collect and condense the oil vapor. Once the oil vapors
condense into liquid droplets, it falls to the bottom of the can. In addition, the top
assembly is specially designed to keep any liquid from climbing out the exit hole
during aggressive driving conditions. Stored oil volume is approximately 8
ounces. You will be amazed by how much oil our Catch Can will catch! Don't settle for an inferior competitor's product. Insist on Elite Engineering's Catch Can!
