Great post Papa. Thanks for the Rx install videos. I had not seen that before. I've read the written instructions, but always nice to see it live. Hoping to receive my dual valve in the mail today or tomorrow so I can install it this weekend. I totally agree with your comments, but just put this poll up to see what others were doing and hopefully to get some good feedback post install. Good feedback so far and keep the votes coming.

I hope this helps some guys. Follow the link.
This is a thread I started in another forum in reference to the coking of the intake valves and the results after removing the intake manifold and manually cleaning the valves.

Had some service work done, they asked a lot of questions, did some research them self. Ford had them take pictures of it. In the end, they replaced everything that needed replacing with no VOID in warranty. The dealer actually put it back on for me
That being said, since then, I have re-routed the RX Catch can in a way that I am not drilling into any plastic intakes. I am using a threaded port on the bottom of my S&B intake.
Can't say that I have seen any mileage increase but seeing the crap that comes out of it is reason enough to keep it. Have to empty it every 500 miles or so in the winter (and I have the Monster catch can). During the warmer months, I go thousands of miles without emptying it.
Oil level stays the same.

I installed my Rx dual valve catch can system back in March of this year, I thought it was time to post my report. My EB is a 2012 with no prior issues, never been in for warranty work yet. At the same time I also changed the plugs, removed the IC shield, and changed the oil. Right now I have just over 14000 miles on my truck, but I forgot to note the mileage when I installed the catch can. I opted for the vent-to-atmosphere for the clean side. I haven't removed the IC to clean it out, too much work for me.
I do mostly short city trips, not a lot a miles. During the spring I would catch a fair amount of liquid similar to what others had reported, but now during the summer months I have only been catching small amounts of oil. I have been getting better MPG's, could also be affected by the new spark plugs and IC shield removal. For the first few months there was no increase in oil level, but now the oil level has risen a bit.
Looking back on this project I'm happy with the results, would I do it all over again? Maybe, maybe not. It's a great project for people who are interested, but it costs money and work so I don't believe it's as necessary as others claim. Just my two cents, although it may be a bit early for final opinions, we'll wait and see how the system performs through the next cold winter.

Take the time to look at the link that I shared. There are good pictures of my intake valves. My truck ran 39000 miles without a catch can. With the amount stuff I drain from my can and knowing what my intake looked like, I think that a can is definitely worth it.

Well, we've hit the 50 vote mark. 38% have a can installed with the Rx dual valve leading by a fair margin. 32% obviously feel there are benefits from installing a can and are considering it. And, 30% don't feel there are any benefits from it and wouldn't waste their time or money on one. I still think there are multiple benefits from the cans, particularly with a GDI engine. My dual valve arrived in the mail yesterday and will be going on this weekend. Thanks to all who voted and participated in the discussion, and feel free to continue to provide honest feedback with your experiences. And, thanks to all for keeping the comments civilized.
