Are the Elite Engineering High Flow Valves Worth it?
Hey everyone, so I was wondering if high flow valves are worth it if you install a catch can on your car and do they provide much better flow. To be clear this thread is not if you need a catch can, but if you decide to get one, are the high flow valves really worth it? I tested 3 valves, one of which was the Elite Engineering. The results were surprising and I'll save you the trouble of you don't want to watch the video, but in a nutshell I think these high flow valves are worth it. Also full disclaimer here folks, I'm not associated with Elite in any way and bought the valves with my own money, so there is no sponsorship.

What is the purpose of the valves? I know I have seen them frequently in boosted applications, but not so much NA. My catch can didn't come with any valve (Mike Norris CC). Just curious.

Valves stop the pressure from blowing the oil in the catch can back in to the motor. Only needed in boosted applications. With N/A motor's its all vacuum so no valves needed

Yup, you are right @davidscamaro used for catch can for boosted applications.
