I took apart my UPR can today to install the diffuser. I've had my can (w. extension) for approximately 1,600 miles and have collected a few oz. of oil in that time.
While it was apart I ran a paper towel through the clean side hose to see how saturated it was and get an idea of the can's effectiveness. Good news is the inside of the clean side hose was pretty dry. Not bone dry, because it had a slight film on it. But it wasn't nearly as saturated as the inlet. I can't comment on the can's performance without the extension as I never owned it without the extension.
I installed the diffuser and wiped the inside of the clean side hose completely dry. Will report back in another 1,500 miles with how that hose looks after the diffuser upgrade.

I'm coming up on 1K with my RX can - within a few hundred miles. I'll post some pics when I drain the can. Prior to install I thoroughly cleaned the throtlebody and clean-side hose and fittings...so I'll check the condition of all that as well.
