10-14 SHO /Flex / Explorer 3.5 EcoBoost UPR DUAL VALVE CATCH CAN/Black

The kit was nicely packaged and designed. It went in with no problems at all. The customer service that I got at unleashed performance is amazing. I didn’t see that the kit was on sale until I looked in my junk mail. I emailed Leslie and told her about it. They sent me a discount code to use at a later date.

This is a great product and honestly should be your first mod that you purchase for any Flex/SHO. The instructions are easy to follow just look up the same product on UPRs website and there is a link to them. From there on it’s straight forward and is a 10-30 minute install. Note the black billet piece for the oil cap separates from the shiny aluminum piece it’s attached to. You take that and screw it onto where your oil cap used to go then the black billet piece can pop in and out.

I want to start by saying UPR actually had a person answer the phone during the install and they were good to deal with. 1) THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS - Come on UPR for almost $400 you can include some instructions. When I called they said refer to the pictures online. Therein lies issue #2 2) THE KIT HAS BEEN REVISED - routing hoses as depicted in their pictures is no longer valid. The left line out of the can to the oil cap and fresh air line is a few inches too short to route around the boost hoses as shown. On my vehicle at least when the oil cap is fully on the line fitting is rubbing against the boost tube. 3) The clean line to the manifold is revised and now around 16" long. It was supposedly to help clear the fuel rail line for some people but it has to make a large loop over the rear valve cover to plug in now. Be sure to install the hose with the arrow on the check valve facing the manifold. 4) THERE IS NO WAY TO DRAIN WITHOUT CAN REMOVAL. Not much more to say than that. I called them on this as well seeing most can be unscrewed to be emptied. I was told due to the space a hex bolt is used and the can has to be removed from the vehicle to be emptied. That a big PIA, they should be upfront about the emptying procedure. Let alone the wear on the o-rings and the 8mm mounting hole from removal every few thousand miles. I put a ton of miles on my vehicles and are rarely home so now I have to carry an 8mm with me to drain this thing. I also keep the stock hoses in the trunk in case an o-ring tears. 5) The front valve cover cap uses a work gear clamp, a spring clamp would fit much better and not leave the gap the worm gear style does on small tubing. The catch can itself is built like a tank and the hoses and fittings are high quality parts. I pulled it after 230 miles for warranty work and it already collected 2oz of water condensate so it works very well. If the fitment and drain issues were resolved this would be a 5 star product. Great can but bad implementation for this platform.

Great quality parts - Improvements to be made: Drainage, mounting and dismounting, instruction manuals, change the worm gear hose clamps on the t fitting to something else.

Great catch can!! Had the JTL can for a while and only had the back filtered the front was vented to atmosphere and I got tired of the oil vapors. So I ordered this to try it out and I'm amazed how much it catches!! It catches everything and I mean everything oil, water even extra gas and gunk from the crankcase ventilation on both side.
