Do these Coyote engines need a catch can, or is it something people just do?

LOL.

They do not need one. If you're planning on racing the car and doing a lot of high-rpm driving, it's probably a good idea.

There is a theory out there that oil vapor will cut down your octane.

I added it because if i can keep oil out of the intake then its worth it to me, plus it can't hurt anything by having it on the car.

Oh, so this is probably another one of those fuel line magnet type products.

Yes.

That being said though, if it gives someone peace of mind then I say do it.

It's a good looking piece.

Not at all, its nothing more than a receptacle for oil vapors.

What I meant by that is that it largely does nothing, not that it had the same function.

Actually it does keep oil out of your intake.

That is false, they do exactly what they are designed to do - collect oil vapor. There isnt a dispute on whether or not they function as intended. The debate is whether or not they are "necessary" or offer a benefit other than simply collected oil vapor.

There isnt anything "snake oil" about them, they perform the task they are desinged and marketed to do; meaning no on is suggesting they add power, increase MPG, will make you rich, etc.

What is comes down to is simply personal preference whether its worthwhile for you/your car.

 

[racrguy]

Exactly. Unless it can be proven to be a benefit, they really do nothing. Be it catch oil vapors or straighten out the ions in your fuel molecules.

Keep in mind, valves need to be lubricated, and depending on how the new DI/PI engines use their injection, may not put enough fuel on the valve to lubricate it properly.

They aren't really "necessary" on a naturally aspirated car, but definitely needed on a forced induction car.
