I've been reading a lot on the forums regarding catch cans, and everyone seems to have a different opinion. Some said it's a waste of money because otherwise Ford would've installed it, others said that it's required but not installed from the factory because it's a high maintenance part...
What do you guys think about it? My 2017 Mustang Ecoboost is 100% stock and I'm not looking to really mod it other than suspension and exhaust maybe. While it might be 100% stock I do drive on the track (road course not a drag strip). Should I get one for a stock Ecoboost or not?
If so which one to get? UPR claims that their dual valve system is the best because it also catches blow-by while in boost. but I read that some people have problems with those regarding vacuum leaks and oily smells in the cabin because of the can not including teflon and worm clamps. The exterior of the cans were soaked in oil, but so far I've only read that on the f-150 forum. https://www.f150forum.com/f7/upr-catch-can-review-what-mess-literally-305986/index2/
Some claimed that the bronze filter media from the Mishimoto one came loose and got sucked into their engines.
There is also the Ford Performance one but the filter media seems to be rather poor.
Conclusion, I'm confused if I should buy one or not. I don't cheap out on maintenance because I'm not looking to sell this car anytime soon. Like I said I do track my car so I might be pushing it a bit harder that most.
Thanks,
Walt
