i hope mine doesn't do that when i get my car running! 
RevXtreme catch can rattle
RevXtreme catch can rattle I bought a RevXtreme catch can new from another member. Since I've put it on, the PCV valve inside the can rattles like hell! I mean it's loud. Cars in front of me can hear it when I'm stopped at a red light. I've gotten looks from people as I pull into a parking lot.
Just wondering if anyone else has the problem. I'm pretty sure it's normal but has anyone figured out a way to get it to quiet down?

The rattle is normal, that's just the nature of the type of valve they use. I only hear the rattle when I am passing something and I am at about 1k rpm. 1k seems to have just enough vacuum to move the ball in the valve for me.
Mine doesn't rattle at idle like yours is though. I think that RevXtreme will send you the supplies to fix it yourself, or will do it themselves for a small fee if you send it in.

I've emailed RevXtreme, waiting for a reply. I'm in no way upset with them, just wondering if this was normal or not. Maybe I'll send them a PM and like them to this thread.

Holy **** that sounds like ***. Is the vavle on the side serviceable. I would think so and I would try and insolate it a little bit. Sounds like it echos through the catch can. I still want one but would like some more input and info on how common this is.

I would suspect looking at the pics that it is an early version and the dispesion tube may have come loose inside. Send it back for a free upgrade and it will be turned around in 1 day & back to you. Should NOT be anywhere near that loud. In fact it is barely noticeable with the hood open.

for RevXtreme! Just sent my old can back to RevXtreme. I have to say that even though something is apparently wrong with this one, it still caught alot of oil. When I emptied it out, it was at least 3 tablespoons full.
