UPR catch can

Anyone have experience with the UPR catch can. Package is less than mishimoto but not sure how it stacks up in quality.

Actually looks a little nicer than the Mishimoto. I wouldn't change my setup though, the Mishimoto mounts near the radiator for easy access and looks factory. It doesn't look like a drain valve can be added to the UPR, I don't use one but for some that is important. It must be new to the market, no reviews yet

Looks like it might mount on engine block which I have read is not ideal due to vibrations. Might give it a shot

I had a Billet catch can on my 2014 for 40k or so. It mounts to the block in the same spot the UPR does, never had any issues.

The UPR catch can, unlike the Billet, does have a drain hole in the bottom. It comes with it plugged by default, but its just a screw in type plug with plumbers tape. You can buy a kit (or make your own) to utilize it. Just installed one last week in my Ram in black color. Unless you're looking for it, you'd think its factory.

Hope its OK to post this link; got it from GotExhaust.com. They sponsor a couple of Ram forums.

I thought catch cans were mainly for direct injection engines? Is there any real benefit for our port injection engines?

Someone asked the exact same question in one of the many oil catch can threads. In short...
The benefits for direct inject engines are a little different than ours. For ours, blow-by goes down the intake and hits the air/fuel mixture, effectively lowering the octane rating of the fuel you're using. By itself, that isn't necessarily a super-terrible thing, and could maybe be ignored if you aren't towing or something requiring maximum power. However, over time it also gums up the intake and everything else it touches on its way to the cylinders, which can eventually cause problems later down the road.

So do we need one? No. Is it beneficial to the engine? Yes.

If you feel like some light reading, here's one of the many threads on the topic.

What's with the oil catch cans?

So I see a lot of people are installing an oil catch can. Is there a systemic problem? Why doesn't everybody install them on all their vehicles? I know what they do especially for direct injection engines but is it proven to cause problems if you don't install one? Just trying to figure out I...
