OK, I decided to install a catch can and get one that I could do myself since I have the mustang cover and have my wire harness stretched across the passenger side. I like the SHR because it came with black matching anodized aluminum fittings with laser engraved logo. This is basically a Shelby that came without any filter. I installed a mesh screen on the inlet side from JLT. I got a 90* LH for a 2011-14 GT. They offer kits plug n play also, but I wanted to do my own. I spliced into the factory hose after checking and marking where to cut out about 2". I used gates Thermoplastic clamps (PowerGrip) to make a factory leak free seal, love those things.I don't like clamps or crimps. I used some Black high temp oil resistant RTV on the threads. Here are some pics of the steps and install. After I log some miles I will report back my findings.One thing too, don't try to screw fittings in all the way or you will break something. Just hand tightened and then snug up with a wrench about a 1/4 turn. The people at SHR and JLT are really good people and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from either. I just like the looks and fittings for what I am doing from SHR. In the last pic, the can is actually very level. It was the angle I took the pic that makes it look like it is sagging. But it is not.

Just a quick note. When I took my PCV hose off and checked there was a very very light coating of oil that it was almost dry. I check my oil between changes and it is always on the full mark. So I will see what this can comes up with. The can was $85 with fittings, screen filter $5, two gates thermoplastic clamps #32915 Oreilly's $6 and Black high temp RTV $5. about $101 dollars and a little time. Drove truck yesterday and it runs fine so now just a little mileage data log and checking to see what results I come up with.

Nice write up.

RX system installed.

Nice!! And this is one of the only cans on the market that catches ALL the oil, and not just part of it like most.

You know, my truck will be here soon (built, waiting rail delivery) and I have no idea which 5.0 catch can to get. I need it shipped to Winnipeg, MB, Canada as well, so any online store I buy from needs to ship here.

I spoke to my salesmen and he said it would likely void warranty and I would need to remove it before I brought it in for anything that might need to be done. So, I need one that will remove quick and easy. I am thinking my best choice will be the JLT can...

EDIT: Called the service department where I bought my truck. They told me to leave it stock to protect my warranty...

I'd talk to someone other than your sales rep regarding warranty information IMHO...they love to throw "VOID WARRANTY" around though. Ask your sales rep if he's familiar with the Magnuson-Moss Act? If you're not, you should be

I also talked to Service. That Act you reference is US Law. I am in Canada and do not know of any related Act. We also don't have a Lemon Law or related legislation here either. All power to the seller...

Damn, you're right! JLT seems to have the easiest to take on and off, but I think RX seems to have the "bulletproof" system. Removabilty (<--Not sure that's even a word! lol!) vs. performance.

I gave another Service department a call and they were more forth coming with information. They said in theory it would void warranty, but that a catch can or separator should not be necessary in the 5.0 if the PCV system is working properly. He said all you guys who are catching oil are either catching an insignificant amount that should not cause problems or you've got a larger problem with the PCV and those cans are a bandade that does not address a serious issue.

I talked to my brother-in-law last night at Easter dinner (he's a heavy duty equipment tech and all around engine guy) and he says pretty close to what the last service guy I talked to said. I shouldn't need it and if my truck did, Ford should have included it at the factory. He also asked if I got the EcoBoost or not. Said he'd consider it if I had forced induction.
