Hey everyone! It looks like it's been a few years since we've been active on this forum, so for those of you who aren't familiar with Mishimoto, I'd like to start off with a quick introduction.
Based in Delaware since 2005, we design and sell a wide array of performance aftermarket parts for everything from trucks to hot hatches to, of course, Mustangs. Most of our staff are car enthusiasts in one way or another and we like to bring that attitude with us to work - which is why we like to make posts like these, to share our engineering process with other enthusiasts, get feedback, and stay involved with the folks we're making products for. My name is Josh and I've recently taken over writing articles for our Engineering Blog.
Anyway, let's talk about our new catch can.
From the start, we wanted our catch can to be both effective and easy to service. We incorporated our existing Mishimoto V2 Compact 2-Port Baffled Catch Can, a tried-and-true design that uses a 50-micron bronze filter and internal air diverter to improve oil separation. We designed our new kit to be a direct fit for the 2024+ Mustang 5.0L V8 with a two-piece bracket for quick servicing.
After test-fitting some prototypes we sent the catch can out for a 1,400+ mile road test. Since the Coyote engines are known to produce excessive blow-by, we were expecting our catch can to collect an ample amount, but we were surprised at just how much. After the 1,493.6 mile road test with a total lifetime mileage of only 6,558 miles, we measured 15mL of blow-by collected.
If you want to read more about our catch can's design and road test, check out the blog I wrote about it.
But we also want to hear from you. Is there anything you liked or would've changed about our design? If you're currently running this catch can, how's your experience been? Let's hear it.
