Just installed it and took it for a drive, no CEL. Am I supposed to be able to put the engine cover back on? The hoses are blocking me from being able to do so or I didn't place the hoses in good spots.
Also they included a breather, I am assuming this was a mistake.....

My CEL came on after about 200 miles. I returned my kit. That said, it pulled a lot of crap out of my system in that short 200 miles, crap that I really don't want cooking up my intake. The system was super high quality, I was really impressed, just can't deal with a CEL. If they figure out a fix, I'll definitely buy the kit again. BTW, Stage 3 and UPR customer service were both great!
To the comment about having to spend $500 on an aftermarket gadget to keep your truck running right, I don't really think that's the case. Don't need the catch can at all. I think it'll just help you maintain your current HP level and driveability over the long term as it'll help keep the intake valves clean. People spend big bucks on an exhaust to gain 10 hp, so I see this as a similar investment if it prevents power degradation. But a lot of people think these are snake oil, so who really knows.

I don't understand why your not buying the generic cans? I used 1 on my 06 mustang with the saleen huffer and it worked fine 483 hp on the wheels. I packed the inside of it with a stainless scrub for more surface area for the fumes to collect onto. drain valve on bottom. $300-400 seems alittle excessive to me. imo
