Mustang Catch Can EVIL ENERGY Custom Fit for 2018-2023 GT & Mach 1

Description

Product Overview

The EVIL ENERGY aluminum catch can is a purpose‑built solution for the high‑performance Ford Mustang line, covering model years 2018 through 2023 for GT, Bullitt, and Mach 1 variants. Constructed from aerospace‑grade aluminum, the tank offers a lightweight yet robust enclosure that resists corrosion and heat distortion, ensuring long‑term durability under demanding driving conditions. Inside the can, a precision‑engineered honeycomb filter made from fine‑mesh aluminum provides a high surface area to effectively condense oil vapor, water, and other contaminants before they can re‑enter the intake manifold. This design helps maintain a cleaner combustion environment, which can translate to smoother idle, improved throttle response, and reduced carbon buildup on critical engine components such as valves, pistons, and spark plugs.

Every component of the kit has been selected to match the factory layout of the Mustang’s PCV system. The included hose is pre‑cut to the correct length and features reinforced braiding to prevent kinking or expansion under vacuum pressure. Quick‑connect PCV fittings are engineered to snap securely into place without the need for additional adapters, reducing installation time and potential leak points. The catch can also incorporates a non‑slip rotating base that allows the user to tilt the tank for quick, tool‑free drainage of accumulated oil, while an O‑ring seal ensures a leak‑free operation during normal driving.

Beyond its functional benefits, the catch can maintains an OEM‑style aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the Mustang’s existing engine bay components. The exterior finish matches the factory‑installed oil tank, preserving the vehicle’s visual integrity while delivering upgraded performance. The product’s dimensions—8.66 x 8.11 x 3.98 inches—and weight of just 1.17 pounds make it a compact addition that does not interfere with other engine accessories or clearance requirements. This balance of form and function reflects the brand’s commitment to providing a high‑quality, race‑inspired part that is also suitable for daily street use.

Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The kit comes with a step‑by‑step guide that outlines the removal of the stock PCV valve, attachment of the supplied hose, and positioning of the catch can in the designated mounting location. No special tools are required beyond a standard socket set and a torque wrench for securing the mounting bolts. After installation, the user should perform a brief break‑in period, checking for any signs of leaks and ensuring the quick‑connect fittings are seated properly. Regular maintenance involves draining the collected oil every 500–1000 miles, a simple task that can be completed in a few minutes without removing the tank from the vehicle.

Usage

The catch can is designed for a wide range of driving scenarios, from spirited weekend track days to everyday commuting. Enthusiasts who push their Mustangs to higher RPMs will benefit most from the added protection against oil vapor ingress, as the increased airflow and combustion pressures generate more blow‑by gases that can carry oil particles into the intake. By capturing these particles, the catch can helps preserve the integrity of the intake tract, reducing the frequency of costly cleaning procedures and extending the life of performance upgrades such as cold air intakes or aftermarket throttle bodies.

For daily drivers, the catch can operates silently and without noticeable impact on fuel economy. The aluminum construction dissipates heat efficiently, preventing the tank from becoming a hotspot that could affect nearby components. Because the system is sealed and includes a pressure‑balanced vent, it does not interfere with the engine’s emissions control strategy, though it is not CARB‑exempt and therefore should not be installed in California‑compliant vehicles. Owners in regions with strict emissions regulations should verify local compliance before fitting the unit. Overall, the catch can offers a practical, low‑maintenance solution that enhances engine reliability across a variety of operating conditions.

FAQ

Do I need any special tools to install the catch can?

No special tools are required. The kit includes all necessary hoses, fittings, and mounting hardware. A basic socket set and torque wrench are sufficient to secure the tank and attach the hose to the existing PCV valve location.

How often should I drain the oil from the catch can?

For optimal performance, it is recommended to check and drain the collected oil every 500 to 1000 miles. The exact interval depends on driving style; aggressive track use may require more frequent drainage, while casual street driving can allow longer intervals.

Is the catch can legal for use in all states?

The catch can is not CARB‑exempt, meaning it does not meet California’s strict emissions regulations. It is legal for use in states without CARB‑type restrictions, but owners in California or states that adopt similar rules should avoid installing the unit to remain compliant.

Will the catch can affect my vehicle’s warranty?

Installation of the catch can does not void the vehicle’s existing powertrain warranty, provided the part is installed correctly and does not interfere with factory‑installed emissions components. It is advisable to keep documentation of the installation and to consult the vehicle’s warranty terms if you have concerns.

Can I use the catch can on Mustang models older than 2018?

The design is specifically engineered for 2018‑2023 Mustang GT, Bullitt, and Mach 1 models. While the tank may physically fit on older models, the hose routing and PCV connections differ, so it is not recommended without custom modifications.
