Bob's.. hands down. You can get in matte or gloss black for low key. Then you can also get carbon fiber hydro dipped if you want. The clean side is clean until you track the car as the Ford engineers stated. And they are $120 or so cheaper!

Agree, definitely Bob's. The quality and functionality is as good as you'll get. Many options to dress up the engine compartment if you want, and the ease of draining is also as good as it gets.

And some on the SVT forum GT350 section. I would provide the link if I could.

The UPR single valve catch can for the GT350 will offer our Patent designed filtration system that will catch more oil, fuel and contaminates then any other out there. We are also the only ones to add a check valve to ensure a tight seal at WOT. Our 350 systems also include a Clean Side Separator because with the higher RPM driving, we noticed oil splashing back into the intake tube. Everything is plug and play for a quick removal and installation.

+1 for the UPR system!

I would like to bump this thread as I am now ready to purchase one of these. Now that everyone who owns one should have some input, what are your thoughts and pros/cons? I see that Bobs has increased in price $100 for the new year. Does anyone know why? Is there better materials used/supplied with the kit? Also, do you think that new premium is still worth getting the Bobs over UPR? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I have not ruled out the Ford Performance ones either, but from my research they appear to be more difficult to empty and not as high quality as Bobs or UPR. Thanks!

I know this doesn't answer the question but love my JLT 3.0

I installed Bob's on a very well respected recommendation. I couldn't be happier.

I would like to a review of what's in the cans

I'm really happy with my UPR system. Install was quick (~15 min) and the quality of the parts is TOP NOTCH!

Oil catch cans have to be the biggest scam on the GT350 aftermarket. Don't fear detonation or contamination. Apply some logic:

The engine makes plenty of power. Although it looks like substantial mass in the can, divide the mass by say, 100 x 10^6 strokes over 3,000 miles at 4,000 rpm (a good median), at 60 mph (another median). The result is picograms or nanograms of residue per oil change. Most of the aliphatic mass would be blown right out of the engine with the exhaust cycle. There are also additives in gas that probably create residues as well. There are so many other things that will affect performance before insignificantly minute masses of oil.

For Ford, catch cans are nominal cost and maintenance would be a profit, and more than likely they left them off to strip weight due to no perceived benefit. If Ford Performance cares nothing about keeping the engine innards pristine, why go through the trouble and substantial cost if there is no proven benefit? This not a data-driven decision; it's a reaction to hype. Probably the only good reason to have a can would be to counter blow-by induced by a turbo- or super- charged intake, otherwise don't worry about it. Those Track Attack cars do not have catch cans installed as I have asked people who have gone to the FPRS.
